4chan doesn't do anything illegal unless you think that being mean should be banned.

Well that depends on what laws are passed, doesn’t it? 4Chan is now in violation of a new UK law.

4chan is not in the UK and ofcom has no jurisdiction. This would be like Singapore trying to prosecute you for smoking marijuana in your own home in the U.S.
