Will 4chan pay its Ofcom fines?

Message board 4chan is refusing to pay fines issued by Ofcom for breaching online safety duties.

Earlier this year, the communications watchdog launched an investigation into the website over concerns it was hosting potential illegal content. And, in June, Ofcom issued 4chan with a “provisional notice of contravention” – a formal warning by a regulatory body – for failing to comply with two information requests…

As we already know, this didn’t go anywhere and nobody outside Ofcom seems to have been surprised. As the former chief executive of the National Cyber Security Centre suggests, Ofcom will have to realise that it isn’t a regulatory superpower. The question remains though – how did it ever think otherwise?

Speaking to PublicTechnology sister publication Holyrood, the former chief executive of the National Cyber Security Centre, said: “I’d be cautious about moving forward – and some of this is at Ofcom’s discretion but quite a lot of it is actually later legislation from parliament. The country should not get itself known primarily in tech for regulation. We do need to innovate securely. You can’t just legislate your way to security and safety online. There has to be a whole sort of business culture about it… In tech, there’s no such thing as a regulatory superpower, and we’re about to find that out.”
