      They can ban the website in the UK I guess. They can also try to impound any assets that 4chan has in the country but I doubt they have any. Besides that they can’t do much else.

    Is this not the equivalent of asking someone on the street to pay for a fence for your property so you don’t have to look at them?

    I want to troll the UK government for many reasons, not the same ones as these douchebags I am sure.
