Lawyers 4chan and Kiwi Farms representing controversial online forums have filed a legal case against the UK Online Safety Act Enforcers, Ofcom.
His legal complaint filed in the Washington DC Federal Court seeks a legal ban on implementing or implementing the UK communication regulator for implementing or implementing the online security act against him in the US.
“American citizens do not surrender our constitutional rights because Com sends us an e-mail,” said Preston Bayran of Law firm Burn and Storm, Preston Bayran said.
Tomcom told the BBC: “We know about the trial. Under the Online Security Act, any service link with the UK now has duties to protect the UK users, no matter whether it is based in the world.”
A service should not be based on being subject to the Act in the UK, and therefore face action from COMCOM.
A significant number of UK users, or to keep the UK as a target market may be sufficient.
But the 4chan lawyers want the American court to rule that the American business is under the British law with any presence in the UK.
It also wants to declare that the Online Security Act is over obstacles with the free speech security of the US Constitution.
Lawyer for online message board 4chan Recently told BBC To fail to follow two requests for information, AMONCCOM had provided a fine of £ 20,000 to be implemented with “daily punishment” with daily punishment.
Tomcom alleges that 4chan has not complied with the Act regarding information requests, but has not confirmed the provisional fine.
It is also Said that this investigation is going on 4chan on whether it is following the online security act duties to protect its users from illegal content.
The US legal case is being brought by corporate institutions behind the 4chan Community Support LLC, and LOLCOW LLC, 4chan and online forums, Kiwi forms.
4chan has often been at the center of online controversies in its 22 years, including the principles of incorrect campaign and conspiracy.
Kiwi farm users have been first associated with many serious events of harassment and trolling.
The two sites “fully compliance” with American laws, calling a legal complaint.
As per the filing, Tomcom has written to Kiwi Farms twice, starting with a march letter, saying that it requires “to carry forward an illegal material risk evaluation” to perform the duties of the online security act and submit a record of that assessment by 17 April 2025.
The legal complaint alleges that the com online uses its powers under the Security Act, which threatens to implement “disastrous citizen punishment and referral” for law enforcement “including arrest and imprisonment” for American citizens and businesses, if it is not followed.
This “wants to prevent Kokam’s conduct and include continuous egoistic violations of Americans’ civil rights, including, without any limits, for the right to freedom of speech”.
The Ronald Coleman of the Coleman Law firm, who is also working for the Wadi 4chan and Kiwi Farms, said his customers were defending “free speech rights of every American”.
“We have asked the court to confirm that Antom has no right to implement or implement unconstitutional UK laws on US soil.”
The legal case is amidst the tasks that want to take the court:
The orders and demands of a declaration Kicom are unattainable in the US as they are incompatible with the first, fourth and fifth modifications for the US Constitution, relevant American law and public policy.
A permanent prohibitory order prohibiting a permanent prohibition to prevent or prevent the online security act against the plaintiff in the US.
