If 4chan continues to ignore Ofcom, the forum could be blocked in the UK. And 4chan could face even bigger fines totaling about $23 million or 10 percent of 4chan’s worldwide turnover, whichever is higher. 4chan also faces potential arrest and/or “imprisonment for a term of up to two years,” the lawsuit said.
“Allows” - do they do anything specifically for the UK?
They allow UK residents to use a credit or debit card to pay for passes.
“allow”
Seems to me as if the people in the UK sign up with an american company.
4chan has not disabled accepting payments from UK residents through their Coinbase portal. Therefore they are allowing UK residents to pay them.
4chan is not geo blocking UK visitors in their Cloudflare portal, so they are allowing UK residents to visit their site.
4chan wants all the benefits of UK business without obeying their laws.
4chan isn’t in the UK and has no reason to figure out what laws apply there.
When you made this post, did you first check which countries your post ended up in?

That means they agree their business can be affected by international regulations.
No, that’s not what it says.
I know, its hard to believe your eyes, but it does say they can be adversely affected by international legislation and regulations if they want to do business there.
They could always opt to use a US-based payment processor that doesn’t deal with international payments.
It specifically talks about the value of crypto currency, which can be affected by any number of external events. I’m going to assume you’re simply trolling now.
