If 4chan continues to ignore Ofcom, the forum could be blocked in the UK. And 4chan could face even bigger fines totaling about $23 million or 10 percent of 4chan’s worldwide turnover, whichever is higher. 4chan also faces potential arrest and/or "imprisonment for a term of up to two years," the lawsuit said.

The boomers are not on their way out. We have the exact same politicians in power that we had 30 fucking years ago.

    They're retiring or dying of old age soon, they think now's the time to shit all over the floor and trash the place.

    They’re retiring

    Retirement is when it's about time to get into big politics. Most politicians on higher levels are 60+ y.o.

    UK cabinet is mainly GenXers. I didn't count exactly, but Boomers still seem to outnumber Millennials. Definitely on the way out, though.

    I wouldn't mind the politicians from 30 years ago, who stayed away from this bullshit.
