4chan sues UK regulator in US court

bbc.com

4chan is suing the UK's Ofcom in a US court, seeking to block the regulator from enforcing the Online Safety Act against it in America. The lawsuit argues that US businesses with no UK presence should not be subject to British legislation and that the Act violates US free speech protections. Ofcom states any service with links to the UK has duties to protect UK users, regardless of its location. 4chan, a controversial forum, faces potential fines from Ofcom for non-compliance with information requests related to the Act's user protection requirements.
