    4chan launches legal action against Ofcom in US...

    Lawyers representing controversial online forums 4chan and Kiwi
    Farms have filed a legal case against the UK Online Safety Act
    enforcer, Ofcom.

    Their legal complaint filed in a Washington DC Federal Court
    seeks a legal ban on the UK communications regulator enforcing
    or attempting to enforce the Online Safety Act against them in
    the US.

    "American citizens do not surrender our constitutional rights
    just because Ofcom sends us an e-mail," Preston Byrne of law
    firm Byrne & Storm said.

    Ofcom told the BBC: "We are aware of this lawsuit. Under the
    Online Safety Act, any service that has links with the UK now
    has duties to protect UK users, no matter where in the world it
    is based."
