And? Most countries do this. DCMA, GPDR, TAA are all laws that effect companies wishing to operate in countries where those laws are passed.

I guess 4chan-uk llc better watch out.

uk just needs to ban 4chan at the dns level and do humanity a favor

Wouldn’t that just be doing VPN sellers a favor?

How?

Reddit, Lemmy and Discord the bad actors now, people here are the ones calling for ‘raids’ on websites, to dox people, to ruins anonymous internet users lives.

4chan is tame by comparison.

From my perspective more damage has been wrought to British culture by the Disneyification of Winnie-the-Pooh (big fan of EH Shephard here) than by 4Chan.

This is definitely a more important point then the existence of websites.
