4chan will refuse to pay daily online safety fines, lawyer tells BBC

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4chan got hacked a while back because they were running a totally outdated software stack.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.

I wonder what they're going to do when the states mandating age verification for pornographic content start coming for them.

Very similar to these dystopian foreign laws. But because they're US states 4chan will not be able to use the "we only recognize US law" defense.

The latest Steam and visa/Mastercard debacle has the project2025 head behind it. They want to make pork illegal in the US as well.

Pork? Why?
