4chan launches legal action against Ofcom in US

Controversial online forums 4chan and Kiwi Farms have initiated legal action against UK regulator Ofcom regarding the Online Safety Act. A Washington DC Federal Court complaint seeks to prevent Ofcom from enforcing the act against US-based entities, even if they have UK links or users. The case aims to challenge the act's reach outside the UK and uphold US constitutional free speech protections. Ofcom alleges that 4chan has not complied with the act, prompting legal action from the forums' representatives to challenge the regulator's authority.
