Cheering on disturbing censorship legislation is pretty cringe, their lawyers are also correct the UK has zero legal standing to make these sorts of demands of companies with zero infra in their borders when.it comes to international & US law.

censoring white supremacists and paedophiles is good actually.
HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 days ago
But they’re not censoring 4chan because they’re white supremacist, they’re censoring them because of consensual adult material.
cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 days ago
consensual and 4chan should not be in the same sentence given their history.

That's not how human rights work. Either they're for everyone or they're for no one.

you don't have a human right to be sexually attracted to kids or want to kill minorities.........

I actually sometimes use 4chan, if that’s what you think it is then you’re frankly pretty deluded & again these laws are dangerous and will eventually be turned on something you support. You are falling hook line and sinker for ye olde “think of the kids” line that the political class roll out for authoritarian surveillance legislation.Image

Actually they do if they serves traffic to the UK.

By that token, I could start my own private Island nation, make some batty rules, log into a sight, and demand a bajillion dollars because my laws say so.
Internet doesn’t work that way, access is not presence of operations.

Some countries already do (See fines from Russia to Google), but the compagnies don’t have to operate in those countries and can choose to not serve traffic to IPs from that country.

4chan can also tell the UK to get fucked

Not under US law & I say this as a Brit, the UK is massively overstepping their authority at this point.

US law does not cover privacy like GDPR, however compagnies still have to comply with GDPR if they process EU data. Same logic apply here
artyom@piefed.social 4 days ago
It doesn't matter where they "serve traffic". They do not operate in the EU and thus are not subject to EU law.

The UK is not EU.
They were very clear about that.

In case of GDPR, this is not true and compagnies are subject to this EU law if they process EU citizens’ personal data. Wether they comply or can be prosecuted is another thing gdpr.eu/companies-outside-of-europe/
