Is 4chan the perfect Pirate Bay poster child to justify wider UK site-blocking?

There are a lot of extra steps the UK government can take beyond the fines:

> In the most extreme cases, with the agreement of the courts, Ofcom will be able to require payment providers, advertisers and internet service providers to stop working with a site, preventing it from generating money or being accessed from the UK.

They’ve done this before (various piracy websites are blocked by ISPs).

The criminal liability of senior managers could cause travel headaches too.

OFCOM is powerless. ISP blocks are worthless.

This is going to fizzle out, like the Australian eSafety team trying to remove content off X globally.

Or get Apple to poke holes in it's crypto. Just not going to happen.

Unfortunately the government is winning, Apple’s ADP encryption is no longer available in the UK. The Online Safety Act was finally forced through after over 10 years.

They’ll eventually get what they want in any case the same way a chisel can eventually dig through a mountain.
