Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

He could have simply referred OFCOM to Arkell vs Pressdram!
Yes indeed.
“Ofcom” and the rest of the regime, and it most certainly is a regime, can Go-To-Hell.
I see a lot of comments on tech sites, thinking they’re being helpful, to the effect that ”perhaps the solution is for 4chan to ban UK IP addresses”. No. Preston Byrne has it absolutely correct. 4chan is under no obligation to do a damned thing.
Excellent 🤣
