If the UK is serious, they could ban entry to the 4chan owner(s) or even arrest them upon entry, so it's not something to just ignore or laugh off.


Ofcomm hasn't been able to identify the owners of the delaware LLC, that's why they attach a screenshot of the CAPITOL SERVICES, INC website.

Publically available databases suggest 4chan executives include John Cena, Evan Essence and Norton Antivenom.


Oh no, not being able to visit UK must be the worst punishment of all. They'll live their lives without being able to see Luton. What kind of life is that.


Might up ending a big problem if your flight has to diverge to UK.


And let's not forget governments all over the world will call in fake bomb threats to force planes to land to arrest passengers.

And with a bit of effort, the UK could call on friendly countries for extradition (such as Canada). They'll have to convince the judge that the crime is bad enough for extradition, but I'm sure they can come up with something.

It all depends on how much the UK really cares. In practice, this is probably just a big act by Ofcom so they can say "we've tried everything, we'll have to go for a full ISP-level block as a last resort".


Some of us have relatives in the UK.


Im sorry.
