If there's someone prepared to argue in court about why the UK's Act is a terrible idea, holy crap is it NOT 4chan

    I am surprised they are asking for any legal action at all instead of just laughing at it and ignoring all messaging from Ofcom. Maybe responding with a few shitposts

    Probably because the US has agreements with the UK about prosecution of folks for stuff like this, and the resulting handling of court ordered punishments like fines. We only ignore things like that if you're a spouse of a cia agent or something.
