4chan isn’t exempt. They’re simply refusing to comply. Frankly, I see their perspective. If Qatar introduced some law that required us to do this, we’d ignore it (if we even knew about it). What are they going to do?

We are complying because we are 100% in Australia. We run this little project as a side gig and can’t risk our careers by becoming a potential example for other forums. You can’t do the sort of IT work we do with a criminal record.
