So are you saying the UK government doesn't have the power to block 4chan in the UK?

Interesting.

    How much money do you think UK users are worth to 4chan? And how much do you think the free international publicity for telling the UK government to fuck off might be worth? I would be surprised if they cave to this nonsense.

    Probably not a lot.

    And for the same reason I cant imagine the government would have any problems or issues blocking them altogether. Its not like there'd be an outpouring of support, I imagine you could ask any 10 people on the street if any of them know what 4chan is and you'd draw a blank. Maybe 1 in 20 will know its for dank memes.
