Ofcom Wants American Police to Collect Its Speech Fine

6 hours ago

Ofcom plans to recover a £520,000 fine from 4chan by using US law enforcement and courts, despite 4chan having no UK assets.
4chan's US lawyer, Preston Byrne, calls Ofcom's approach 'legally illiterate' and asserts that US courts will not enforce foreign censorship penalties due to First Amendment protections.
Legal experts criticize Ofcom's overreach, noting that enforcing the fine in the US is unlikely and could harm UK foreign tech investment, while 4chan responds defiantly with humorous rejections.
