BTW i see 4chan have still not paid a fine and will not be. I believe a freedom of information request has been submitted to Ofcom requesting information on how many fines have been submitted, how many have been paid and how many have been ignored.
It will be interesting to see the results of that.

A total of 61 companies are being investigated for non compliance. Of those concluded, one paid the fine, the one you mention is refusing to pay it and one that encourages suicide agreed to block UK users. Unfortunately, after a while they switched the UK back on and Ofcom had to speak to them again with a warning that they will be keeping a close eye on them.
I agree, it will be interesting to see what happens.
Do you think that this is scaremongering by the American Government to try and curtail the use of VPN's?
