They have made their ruling, now let them enforce it.
I am personally fining the UK $10,000,000 for being massive faggots. Pay up redcoats!
Hasn't Ofcom still refused to answer to the open federal lawsuit 4chan has with them?
If so then they basically shown their ruling is unenforceable to any non-UK tech business which leads me to ask like the EU, what tech companies DOES the UK and EU have?
Here is the entire list:
They don’t have any servers in the UK. There’s no authority to do this and no obligation to pay.
Having said that, I hope it’s shut down forever.
Why would you want them shut down? They don´t appear to be a woke board to me.
… fucking what. The FBI has directly operated /b/ since 2004. In 2014, /v/ literally banned every single person who disagreed with leftism in video games. You get a permanent ban for saying ‘nigger’ anywhere but /b/, including /pol/. Have you even seen their “captcha” in the last 10 years? They now block all VPNs and require you to unblock two FOREIGN TRACKING SOFTWARES from your adblocker in order to post there.
Also, even 10 years ago there was still a large mix of actual /pol/acks with all the shills. These days it's literally just jews and Indians with like 5% actual users all jewing each other. It's nothing but demoralization and FUD. I don't even drop in anymore.
so... the entire scored ecosystem?
I'd say it's more 50/50 here if you stay out of Zionald communities.
then you've successfully been tricked
Maybe. I only just found this site. I pretty much quit the Internet when voat got shutdown and on a whim the other day started looking around on bitchute and found that some voaters came here after it closed down. Country's gotten so much more fucked I wanted an outlet where a few sensible people can still talk shit on the zog.
You can absolutely say nigger on /pol/ - not a day goes by that someone doesn't.
Ah, they must’ve relaxed that. As I said, I haven’t been back to post since 2014, and that’s how things were then.
Imagine having to pay to log in to an “anonymous” website if you don’t want to wait ten minutes before commenting.
Ok I admit I have not visited 4Chan for years. It was the impression I got from reading main stream media about them.
Yeah, the media has tried to “rehabilitate” the image of 4chan in recent years as a “safe edgy” environment. Notice that this only happened after it was conquered.
What's the best alternative currently?
Nice try Rabbi!
Oy vey! It's another shoah!
Is there one? Imageboards have been murdered. Reddit-a-likes have basically taken over.
Or, you know, ✡Discord✡, which was never safe.
2016 basically killed it. There's a tiny handful of stubborn autists left, but /pol/ is about 90% demoralization, rage baiting and shilling while /b/ is mostly just porn, faggotry, and miscegiation. And the sfw boards are basically reddit.
They may not be woke but they’re still pieces of shit.
4chan tells the UK to go pound sand.
£520,000 is actually 0.05 US$. Exchange rates, you know. Turd world currencies don't really have value.
Who's gonna come collect it?
