> Ofcom is likely to lose lawsuits about this, as they do not have jurisdiction in the U.S.

How would Ofcom even have a lawsuit to lose? Are they going to file it in the US? Of course not, USA courts will tell them to pound sand.

They'll just advise the UK government to block 4chan nationwide. Which is really what they want to do anyway.

Ofcom doesn’t really wanna block websites though, they want websites to either comply or block themselves, both of which legitimizing Ofcom’s extraterritorial enforcement.
