The EU Is On An American Censorship Mission, But Wyoming Saddled Up
The European Union has become a hub of hypocrisy. They have allowed their countries to be significantly influenced by Muslim culture, to the point where they have turned a blind eye to the roaming rape gangs that have victimized British women. Instead of taking a firm stand on this issue, they were afraid of being labeled Islamophobic, and as a result, they ignored the blatant attacks associated with a foreign culture.
The EU has capitulated. Under liberal control, Christians have become the persecuted, all in the name of inclusion, which, when translated, actually means the exclusion of tradition and Western culture.
The European Union’s hypocrisy appears to have no limits. A British government agency has threatened an American website, proposing a $25 million fine if the site does not comply with London’s demands to regulate what Americans can express on American soil.
Ofcom has determined that any website with British users, regardless of where it operates, must comply with British law. This includes compliance with the Online Safety Act, enacted in 2023. The law requires platforms to implement age-verification filters, limit content related to mental health and self-harm, and block anything that regulators consider harmful to children. Violations of this law could result in fines of up to £18 million or 10 percent of a company’s global annual revenue.
Translation: they want to block anything that conflicts with their liberal beliefs. Against abortion? BLOCKED. Against child mutilation for gender transitioning? BLOCKED. Against uncontrolled illegal immigration? BLOCKED.
One of the companies in the UK crosshairs is an American website named 4chan, which is a Delaware LLC. The company has no British offices, no British employees, and no British servers, and despite those facts, Ofcom thinks it has jurisdiction.
Only approximately 7 percent of 4chan’s traffic came from UK IP addresses. Still, Ofcom declared it a regulated British service and started issuing demands, fines, and daily penalty notices – all sent by email to American addresses.
4chan’s lawyer, Preston Byrne, justifiably sees Ofcom as a joke. He has told them that their correspondence makes excellent bedding for his pet hamster.
That said, Ofcom has a script it must follow to try and appear legitimate. So, they fined 4chan anyway – £20,000 initially, then daily penalties, then a second major enforcement action in February 2026 targeting age-verification failures under sections 9, 10, and 12 of the Online Safety Act.
The total potential exposure is $25 million, which represents 10 percent of worldwide revenue.
4chan sued Ofcom in a U.S. federal court. Ofcom invoked sovereign immunity, claiming the right to fine Americans for American speech while cowardly hiding behind a legal shield that blocks Americans from fighting back in their own courts.
That approach wasn’t going to be accepted in the United States. The suddenly self-righteous UK wasn’t going to impose its selective arrogance on America. While the decline of Western culture might be tolerated there, it will not be accepted here.
Wyoming state Rep. Daniel Singh introduced House Bill 70, the Granite Act, Guaranteeing Rights Against Novel International Tyranny and Extortion Act.
It passed the Wyoming House 46-12 on February 23rd.
The bill achieves three key objectives. First, it removes the sovereign immunity of foreign governments in Wyoming courts when they attempt to enforce censorship orders against Americans. Second, it establishes a private right of action, allowing individual Americans to sue foreign regulators directly for violations, with minimum damages set at $1 million per violation or 10 percent of the defendant’s US-related revenue—whichever amount is greater. Lastly, the bill prohibits Wyoming courts from recognizing any foreign judgments that penalize speech protected by the First Amendment.
Byrne referred to it as potentially “the most significant victory for global free speech in three decades.”
In February, Jim Jordan confirmed that Congress is considering a federal version, and the State Department also confirmed that federal legislation is on the way to permanently prevent foreign censorship of American citizens.
How ridiculous are these leftists in the UK? In February 2026, Britain’s ICO, a separate British regulator, fined Reddit £14.47 million for its handling of children’s data.
Wikipedia was almost designated as a “Category 1” high-risk platform, which would require government-mandated identity verification for every editor contributing to it.
The EU has already fined Musk’s platform, X, a significant €120 million under its Digital Services Act. When Musk scheduled a 2024 interview with Trump, Breton, the EU’s top tech regulator, personally warned him that his platform could face penalties for broadcasting the interview. In response, Rubio banned Breton from entering the United States.
Rubio added that “For far too long, ideologues in Europe have led organized efforts to coerce American platforms to punish American viewpoints they oppose.”
The day age checks were activated, VPN downloads exploded to the top of the UK App Store. Over 500,000 British citizens signed a petition demanding repeal.
This was never about the age protection of children. This was always about the power to control and indoctrinate in a manner the UK sees fit, which, as we know, is outrageously radical.
British hypocrisy is out of control, but their cheap scheme to spread it to American soil will soon be determined as D.O.A.
