Ofcom can fine 4chan all it wants, but without UK assets those penalties are unenforceable, they have no power here.

This is why the US dropped tea into Boston to have it's own Freedom.

The target of the Boston Tea Party was the British implementation of the Tea Act of May 10, 1773, which allowed the East India Company to sell tea from China in the colonies without paying taxes apart from those imposed by the Townshend Acts.
