"Ofcom may seek recovery of those penalties"
To do that, they will need to get through me and Ron and try to collect in the United States.
That is never going to happen. British media take note when Ofcom decides to triumphantly "enforce" in a month.

If Ofcom wants to block 4chan, that's on Ofcom, and never again will anyone be able to call the Online Safety Act anything other than a censorship law.
Incorrect: they want to scare other Americans into voluntary compliance like they obtained from everyone under the GDPR.
This is why we need backup from Congress, to avoid sleepwalking into a British-controlled global speech regime.

TBD. I have been begging the USG to treat this with the seriousness it deserves for ten months.
Hopefully after everyone reads Ofcom's demand letters and sees how insane they are, we'll get a consensus that we don't want to live this way.

And like, Parliament thinks it’s hot shit with the Online Safety Act?
If Congress lifts a finger foreign web censorship of Americans would end in a week, not just for the UK but for every country on Earth.
They’ve got the draft GRANITE Act. They know what needs to be done.

Why would an American ban on foreign censorship work, I hear you ask?
Because those foreigners need our banks, and if we yank immunity + create a tort, those foreign countries aren’t judgment proof
Censorship of Americans would end, immediately

The UK, for example, holds £47 billion in exchange reserves in North America.
Create a tort of “foreign censorship” and scrap sovereign immunity for it, and every trial lawyer in America will become a free speech litigator overnight

Congress doing this through legislation is a very easy way to end this problem without having to bother the State Department about it or impose diplomatically annoying and affront sanctions.
“Crazy American legislators, what can we do. Sorry. The law’s the law”

Also it puts the ball in Europe’s court over censorship. We don’t have to bother them about it anymore. It becomes their decision whether sending the outbound demand is worth the merits fight in a U.S. courtroom.
