And 4chan already took them to court in the federal government to tell them to go fuck themselves.
Because they can afford it thanks to someone funding them.
No, they're suing them in US court, basically they're asking the American government to tell them to fuck off
If you think the US government will just sit by and let foreign governments control our tech companies, you must actually be a Canadian.
That isn't how we roll when it comes to sovereignty. We make the demands, not you. And the reason it works that way is because we actually have the big stick to back up our big talk.
Only our government gets to screw over our companies!
Man that guy is an insufferable doomer. As a Canadian, I am ashamed of him. He's probably from the eastern provinces.
Just ignore it. Unless the UK can bust down your door in the middle of the night and haul you off to some nondescript prison.
We remain unbound by UK law since 1776.
Alas, UK faggotry knows no bounds
They've already balked and panicked that companies are complying too fast and readily that its making them look bad.
This is all just barking to try and act like they are real and tough big boys, and none of these companies should give them anything other than a blanket ban on the UK.
I don't think US companies should geoblock other countries. If they want to oppress their own people, that's on them, we shouldn't participate.
It does come across as half-capitulation to help the UK by blocking the UK. It would make them look far more incompetent and feeble if they kept sending threatening letters and emails and were ignored entirely, or mocked outright.
Other countries have the right to make their own stupid laws. If they intend to make a hassle of enforcing them and push it on to the companies instead of the populace its meant to control, then I think those companies have every right to just remove the hassle rather than entertain and jump through hoops to continue to provide to a cucked population who allow this to happen.
Pushing them into a ghetto of their own making by just cutting them off from the world might be the push necessary to get out of said cucked mindset.
The UK can build a China style firewall if they are so concerned about foreign websites. Any site that isn't hosted in the UK has every right to change nothing about what they are doing. The UK has no jurisdiction over them.
They have no jurisdiction, but US websites also don't have to waste the time and energy dealing with their constant barking. Purely ignoring it isn't forever feasible simply because it'll clutter an inbox where very important things get sent, and there might even be some from them with merit that you need to address from a completely different angle.
Simply letting this go in this manner makes the UK Agency behind it all continue to pretend they are a real thing and demand increasing power/funding because they "need it to be effective because clearly its not working". Its literally giving them an underdog mindset to bounce off of.
When the alternative is tell the Brits, a people so cucked they keep voting for more of this, that they don't get to play with everyone else if their Mom keeps being so fucking annoying. With no downside to doing so, and perhaps even inspire them to raise a problem about it by upsetting their daily life.
Not harsh enough. If they want to pull this shit, the US should flex its strength in tech/media and digitally sanction the retards.
They get no digital services from American companies. No gaming, no e-mail, no banking, no shopping, no OS updates, nothing. Freeze every single UK account on every single US-based service. Every UK-based site that runs on an American cloud provider? Offline. America needs to put its foot down and stop this Eurocuck BS or they will only be emboldened.
If you feel like being generous, start by targeting just their government's services.
That would obviously be wonderful, but that's something we'd need either our own government to mandate or all the Jews/Elites in charge of the big companies to agree on something.
We should start flexing our strength as the center of the world more, and demand that they cuck to us if they want our stuff instead of the other way around, but we are only just starting to see that boulder go up the hill in the last year kind of.
Great, report all british government emails to Spamhaus!
I suppose there is the possibility that the UK decides to up their military spending by 15 to 20 times the current amount, so that they actually have teeth behind their currently impotent demands, but I would put my money on pigs evolving into a winged species first.
The UK has exactly zero leverage to enforce this with, and everyone running around claiming the sky is falling needs to calm the fuck down.
There is no disagreement, its only a difference of opinion on if "ignore it or ban the UK entirely" is the correct choice.
The feasibility isn't that they will actually do something in this regard. Its that you will get tired of them cluttering your inbox with useless nonsense, enough so that you might miss something in the spam. Or simply get tired of seeing them.
The UK doesn't have a right to the internet and whatever freedom still remains on it. If they want to be trying to act like big dogs, everyone has the right to hit them back with real consequences to their barking instead of just letting them cry in your ear endlessly.
No one even knows who 4chan is so good luck.
The internet is free to the world, a gift of White American ingenuity. If you chose to make the internet illegal in your nation, then it’s on your government to restrict internet access, not up to American website creators or anyone else who puts up content on the internet. You j’ws aren’t going to get away with using lawfare in order to force your global digital ID solution in nations who aren’t Britain, fuck the fuck off, you limey cunts.
As a brit I wish them the best of luck. They're gonna need it to collect that fine.
Nothing a few dozen 400kt airbursts over the major UK cities can't fix.
can we like.. not be allies with these cocksuckers? we will probably have more in common with North Korea than with the UK in less than 10 years lol.
The proper response should be "We're counter-charging you 60,000US$, payable in US$. You have 24 hours to settle this invoice."
Let me guess, the solicitors representing Ofcom are ACS:Law xD
