EU fined number of tech giants before, this is not new. If you have users and derive income from a country, you are operating in this country.
Those tech giants operate in the EU and have EU customers. 4Chan does neither and stores no user data. At that point the onus is on the user and the UK/EU should be going after their own citizens that use it if they have a problem with it being used. Ideally, they wouldn't go after anyone but here we are.
That's like saying that a company can freely import guns into a country where they are banned, but it's all the civilians fault if they buy any.
4chan is selling passes to UK customers
Which word from what I said caused you trouble?
