I wouldn't be so sure it's an ideological stand.

4chan got hacked a while back because they were running a totally outdated software stack. It's been pretty much abandoned by its owner hiromoot.

If they aren't going to update the site for basic maintainance, they definitely aren't going to implement all this chat control/ age verification bullcrap.

I suppose a resistance to change is good when your competitors are burying their own graves.

You can ban 75% of the web if your concern is outdated tech stacks and/or data breaches

I think they're saying that 4chan is not responding bc there is limited people at the helm, not that the UK gov is upset at their security.
