They could but it also feels like the easiest thing in the world to counter-argue considering Null doesn't reside in the UK and the UK cannot claim jurisdiction over the entire internet. I'm not sure Null's location is public, so Ofcom would have to hire solicitors with the foreknowledge of who to contact with regards of enforcing this fine. It's honestly simpler to just ban the website than go through the hassle of trying to claim 10% of the site's income (which I have no idea of the amount that is but I feel like Null could claim all his income is independent of the site itself since he lives off of donations meaning they get nothing lmao)

Another important thing to remember is that Ofcom are an independent body in name, they're not representative of the UK government despite enforcing its laws, so unless they get the UK government to pursue litigation on their behalf, it's the equivalent of an UK company trying to sue a US citizen for acting according to US law.

Just like with the TV licence in the UK (R.I.P in 2027), they rely on fear to get individuals to self-police and comply, because they don't have the manpower, authority, or capital to enforce shit absolutely.

Null is 100% safe.

I may be out of date with this info but the few times the UK has been able to have the US judicial system, fine, arrest or extradite someone is when that person was a UK citizen and the "crime" committed happened while they were in the UK. If you are an American Citizen, In America, Running a company out of America with no location within the UK. I do not believe there is anything they can do at all. Outside of blocking this website from within the UK.

I'm sure Josh wants to protect UK citizens from the evil of their own government. Of course he could just tell them to go fuck themselves and they have no authority, but they DO have authority and reach over innocent people inside of the island that they are thirsting to employ as much violence, indignity and financial ruin as they can without any remorse.

We have a mutual extradition agreement. It wouldn't apply to a criminal law we don't have and would be blatantly unconstitutional if we did.

Every lawyer worth their salt would be pouncing at least on the US side to be the attorney of the one to be sent to the UK. This would be a landmark US case like Bruen. Also the fags like Rakets and other lawtubers would be following this case from proceeding to proceeding if Johnny Somali's case is anything to go by.

Extradition only applies to people who have committed crimes in Britain and attempted to escape to America and vice versa. If they could extradite you for breaking retarded authoritarian British laws in America, people would be getting shipped off by the hundreds of thousands.

Just remember, the British government is so dedicated to protecting a child murderer they will put their citizens in prison if they dare to warn others about his child murdering ways.
But we sure as shit still can. Fuck them. They all deserve to die.

Oh i am aware i included extradition as an example of the types of actions they have been able to take in the past against UK citizens within the US. Not that its fully applicable in this case though there have been UK citizens extradited for speech crimes committed in the UK prior to them arriving in the US.

Oh Australia has already passed this last year disguised as an under 16s social media ban. It comes into effect in December this year and is controlled by a regulatory body that has full control so that things don't have to pass through Parliament to be voted on. The body can just make a decision and immediately carry out censorship.

I know people will probably be called tinfoil hats for this but it's crazy all this shit is happening at the same time with the Visa/mastercard shit. The web censorship being pushed in the UK. The child safety laws being pushed in the US. Damn it's so weird huh?

Also the petition that reached 400k signatures for parliament in the UK was addressed and they basically said "no get fucked we're doing this anyway". What a great fucking country to live in. They need a fucking V for Vendetta situation quick.

It doesn't necessarily need to have been committed while physically in Britain if it caused effects there, e.g. hacking MI5. It might not actually work. For instance, we tried to extradite that British autist Gary McKinnon who hacked almost 100 U.S. military systems including NASA in a search for UFO data. They found he would be mistreated as an autist in U.S. prison so they refused to extradite.

Honestly i dont even think banning social media for under 16s will do anything. Like of course they are gonna find away around it and basically nothing will change

I have to admit, I would like to see Trump roast Starmer like a Thanksgiving turkey over this.
Vance would also be acceptable.

In other news, I don't think anyone has posted about Ofcom's senior management team, yet?
These are the people the UK has put in charge of censoring the Internet.
Might do a deep dive tomorrow idk.

EDIT: They also provide links to high resolution photos. Do as you will with that information.
