Expecting overseas companies to abide by your laws is quite bizarre, just block them in the UK and move on.

    No infrastructure for having the British government blacklist sites today. You'd need a British version of what China and Russia run today. Could be that they'll wind up adding it.

    They'll tell the ISPs to block 4chan's IP addresses. It's what they've done with tpb and others. Next they're coming for VPNs under the whole "won't somebody think of the children" play.

    won't somebody think of the children

    I really wish somebody thought of the children (and young people) - the biggest enemy here is the government, using these people as tools for their authoritarian plans

    Blocking the UK isn't enough to get them off your back. They'll claim that if your website is still accessible via VPN to someone in the UK then you're still subject to their laws.
