Why should that be their problem?
Because they're doing business in that region. You don't just get to go to another country and do business as you please there.
Maybe UK payments processors should bar purchases of 4chan passes then.
They will definitely do that soon if 4chan doesn't respond to the Ofcom's demands, at least in the UK.
Isn't it people in the UK that go to a US company and do business there?
