Ofcom began investigating 4chan over alleged violations of the Online Safety Act in June. On August 13, it announced a provisional decision and stated that 4chan had “contravened its duties”
How on Earth did a UK government office determine that a foreign entity is subject to UK laws? On the surface, this seems like extreme ignorance and stupidity on the part of Ofcom. Shameful.
I mean GDPR does this as well this but it’s EU derived law which has the backing of 27 countries as well as the EEA. That’s why the rest of the world takes it seriously.
The UK thinking it is on the same level is just delusional arrogance.
GDPR does this as well
I don’t understand what you’re referring to with the word “this”. What is it you believe the GDPR does as well?
