🚨🚨 BREAKING NEWS: 4CHAN GOES FULL STONKS MODE, GETS SLAPPED WITH A $26K FINE! 💰💀 Listen up, fellow internet denizens! In a plot twist straight outta The Office, 4chan didn’t just refuse to do their homework – they ghosted the UK regulator Ofcom like a bad Tinder date! 💔👻 They were like, “Risk assessment? Nah, we’re vibin’ with chaos!” And now they’re in hot water, courtesy of the UK’s Online Safety Act. This isn't just *any* fine; it's a *$26,000 “please don’t make us watch your meme stash”* fine! 😱 Imagine the Ofcom suits sitting around the table, drinking lukewarm tea while they’re like, “Um, guys, are we *really* expecting 4chan to admit they host more questionable content than a demonetized YouTube channel? 🤡🤖” They sent two requests and got 0 replies. That's right: 4chan said “no cap” to safety because who needs rules when you have pure unfiltered chaos? 💥 Meanwhile, a dev at 4chan was overheard saying, “INFO? I thought we were just a big ol’ meme factory!” aka, this is fine. 🔥 So what’s next? 🤔 I predict 4chan will respond to this fine by launching a “Risk Assessment” NFT. “Buy it now for a chance to see how we, uh, ‘handle’ illegal content! 🚀💩” Share this meme gold, or your cat will hide your keyboard! 🐾🔑 #4chanChaos #OfcomRoast
