4chan’s lawyer says the UK government “doesn’t understand the internet” and has given Ofcom an “impossible task” by trying to enforce British online safety rules on US-based platforms. Preston Byrne, who represents 4chan, argued that the site is protected by the First Amendment and doesn’t have to comply with UK demands. “The UK just isn’t getting the memo that the United States has a different system and we do things in a different way.” He also claimed Parliament misunderstood how the internet works and set Ofcom up with a mission it can’t realistically enforce. Ofcom fined 4chan £520,000 under the Online Safety Act for failing to implement age checks and other safety measures. 4chan has refused to pay. Via: LBC.

Konami has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California to find the person or people responsible for leaking the source code of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. The leak included source code for several versions of the game and were first shared on 4chan, with download links hosted on Pixeldrain and Buzzheavier. Before filing the lawsuit, Konami sent cease-and-desist notices to the file-hosting websites, and the files were removed. The lawsuit, filed on June 2, 2026, does not name any suspects. Instead, it refers to them as unknown "John/Jane Does" and asks the court to order the websites to provide information such as account details and IP addresses that could help identify whoever uploaded the files.

I agree with all of this emphatically, except I would qualify the superintelligence ban. Currently, to my knowledge nobody has any solid idea how to align or control superintelligemce, so I think something that amounts to a *temporary* ban until we do is a pretty good idea to the extent it could be reasonably and practically enforced worldwide. But of course that’s the rub. Someone might defect, and in the long run I doubt it’s possible to prevent superintelligence without halting (or maybe reverting, at this point) the progress of computing altogether or creating a draconian surveillance state (by default, at some point computers will get so good that a 4chan kid could do an intelligence explosion in their basement for the lulz). So a permanent ban likely seems impractical, and even if the science isn’t solved maybe at some point society would need to decide to go for it anyway despite the risk because it’s the least bad option.
