Oh shit, 4chan will have to cut the jannies' salaries in half.

Since when did GookMoot started doing employee bonuses onto jannies? didn't they already work for free without complaints?

 

[Dip Shitty Knights]

Grow a pair of balls.

So elon can suck on them? What are you, gay?

 

[Dumbledore's Onlyfans]

Objectively no. They have broken no law. They have the right to speak about suicide. And frankly we on the farms talk about equally disturbing things. Once they go, the rest of us are in OFCOM's sights.

Free speech applies either to no one, or to all. You take the good with the bad, or you're left with nothing but whatever bad is forced upon you.

The rough thing about defending free speech is that the speech that needs defense the most is speech almost nobody likes, uttered by people almost nobody likes. Nobody is trying to take down speech everyone agrees with. Any defender of free speech is in the unenviable position of defending people who are making comments that are largely regarded as horrible. By going after the most hated sites and personalities, it allows anti-free-speech activists to chip away at free speech a little bit at a time.

First they outlaw hate speech, then redefine hate speech to cover a wider and wider class of people, until "hate speech" covers "criticism of anybody on our side". That's why anti-constitionalists of every stripe waste so much time redefining known words. That's how rude words and silence can both be violence at the same time; by redefining "violence" to mean "words" and also "not words".

Last I heard gookmoot tripled janny salaries from what they were under moot. It was considered revolutionary at the time and a number of sites like reddit have followed suit over the years.

OFCOM could tell ISPs to block 4chan in the UK if they don't pay.

theyll send a strongerly worded letter. uk is literally trying to bully countries with fucking un tactics. SAD. PATHETIC!!!

 

[TommyHeavenly6]

4chan will die before 2030 but it won't be from this, unfortunately.

 

[Solid Snek]

I mean, you guys are laughing now, but you won't be laughing when the UK government flies two fully-ladden lorries into the Empire State Building.

You know how Muslim countries are. When they issue fatwahs because you've offended them, they don't fuck around.

 

[SaidNoOneEver]

They can sue 4chan in US Federal court. Alternatively, they can use their demand letters as proof of amount owed, and go harass 4chan's domain hosts, and so on. Private companies can typically fuck you over without a US court order, and they do comply with foreign demands.


US gov would not be a party to the case.

Q predicted this.

 

[Agares]

And so begins the world's first state sponsored Lolsuit. Hiro could do the funniest thing and wait until the 4th of July to do a response.

 

[The handsome tard]

So they're solely banking on being given money because.... they're asking?

It worked with the cucked and subverted european population so they are used with getting their way.

They did try that one time. Demanded more money from Google than existed on Earth. I think that was related to the war somehow, don't remember the details. Went nowhere, obviously, as Google didn't have that kind of money

They would rather spend that kind of money on hitmen to make this all "go away".

4chan is run by the jews. The british government is also ran by the jews. Why are they committing jew on jew law-fare?

I mean, we are dealing with elite kikes, they get sick pleasure out of going at "play wars" with each other while using their enemies as the fighting force, they win either way.

4chan deserves it for how unusable it is now.

They have literally made it impossible to use with no paid pass without jumping through a bunch of hoops.

For old times sake let me explain in green text:

>be me
>want to post on 4chan
>can’t without email verifying
>somehow that’s still anonymous posting even though it really isn’t but whatever I want to give it a shot for nostalgia
>lets do this.exe
>have to go through an insane bat shit captcha that is unlike any other captcha I have even seen anywhere else
>have to do a 2nd round of them
>have to do a third round
>it times out
>try again
>I do it again and says I messed up despite doing everything correctly
>try again
>it times out
>try again
>I do it again and says I messed up despite doing everything correctly
>try again
>it times out
>try again
>I do it again and says I messed up despite doing everything correctly
>try again
>it times out
>give up

We hate modern 4chan but we will always hate moralistic busy buddies (and worst of all, are brit*sh) more

Ignoring a sternly worded letter from the UK is no joke. 4chin better pay up fast or this is what it's in for:

So... they're still getting paid the same and the tripled salaries are just for chart inflation?
Also. What are jannies getting paid in? Ego points? whorthless internet points?

It doesn't help when they're never forced to actually define what "hate speech is" ("come on it's just obvious") and the can extend to essentially literally anything, and everyone has their own definitions. Hell if you take the ADLs list it's nearly everything in existence, including words that aren't hate speech if they use it. But the UK apparently LOVES word policing complete nonsense

Visiting modern 4chan is like visiting your favorite childhood playground that hasn't been renovated in 30 years. You notice how small and dirty it is, how rusty the swings and slides are, and how it's full of niggers instead of happy little kids now, and it just makes you sad.

BUT the answer isn't to tear it all down. The answer is to renovate it and patrol it properly, and you definitely don't need the UK to tell you how to do it, especially considering that the UK is more sad and dented than that old playground.

 

[DavidS877]

Some day KF users will read the thread before posting. Today is not that day.

 

[RazorBackBacon]

This is at least understandable from those websites' point of view, as they operate in the UK and Europe. KF and 4chan don't have to worry about that.

It really doesn't. Twitter v Brazil proved that national governments have no choice but to capitulate if the social media giants decide they don't give a fuck. Facebook and Google are just run by cuckolds.

The British care more about Americans telling the truth and insulting their politicians than muslims/sihks/other smelly brown clowns raping little white girls.

This also extends to 3rd world shitholes to no one's amusement

 

[Dolphin Pussy Jelly]

OFCOM announced that 4chan has 7 days to pay $758,223.20 or they will consider "formal action to recover the full amount"

Why don't they just make it a billion at this point? it doesn't matter how much they fine them if they're never going to be able to collect. So stupid.

It would be the funniest thing on earth if the admin of soyjak party bought 4chan one day, deleted all the boards, and then just left /qa/
