Microsoft is literally requiring its devs to use AI to write parts of Windows

Bro you literally posted that ofcom will cut off their payment processor. We are agreeing that it is an option.

Im not disagreeing with that at all. Thats what I think will happen too. We are on the same page.

You haven’t proven anything since a final decision hasn’t even been made by ofcom, but go off, King.

Im simply basing my original comment on the fact that multiple video game storefronts are having to remove certain NSFW video games based on payment processor demands. They had to comply or risk not being able to accept payments for their entire catalog of games.

Im not calling for any action to be taken against any decentralized platform. 4chan is very much a centralized platform with a single instance that uses a single payment processor and has backed itself into a corner. Their current plight would be of no concern if they moved to a decentralized platform and did not hamstring themselves to a global processor named Coinbase.

You literally posted why it matters. 4chan does business with UK residents through Coinbase, a payment processor.

If Coinbase is no longer able to process payments for 4chan, then 4chan will not get paid. Period.

Their payments go through Coinbase.

In February 2025, Coinbase hit a big milestone by getting the green light from the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to operate as a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP). According to Coinbase’s official blog, this means they can now offer both cryptocurrency and regular fiat currency services directly to users in the UK. This approval makes Coinbase the largest registered digital asset provider in the region, even ahead of competitors like Binance.

The payment processors for 4chan passes should probably not allow UK residents to do business with 4chan.

Lemmy is not a subscription-based service for users.

4chan offers 4chan passes for their users, which makes them a commercial entity that should probably follow some commerce laws.

I don’t see lemmy and 4chan as similar services at all.

Calling is one thing. Accepting payments is another.

It happens all the time. US companies get fined by the UK. My initial point is if 4chan has UK customers, then im sure the UK will butt in at some point if 4chan isn’t behaving.

Yes. As a business in the united states, there are countries that you are not legally allowed to do business with. There are sanctions and regulations put in place.

If the UK decides that 4chan is not following UK law, then I imagine that 4chan will be fined until they either start following UK law or completely back out of the UK as far as selling their 4chan passes.

4chan, if you’re a USA company, then why are you accepting payments from UK residents?

The alternatives are a $30 camera that streams directly to China, a $99 linux based camera that requires a homelab setup, a $200 camera that streams directly to Amazon and your local police department, or a $500 camera that has AI built in and requires a business contract with a global distributor and requires professional installation.
