4chan and Kiwi Farms Sue the UK Over its Age Verification Law

How on Earth did a UK government office determine that a foreign entity is subject to UK laws? On the surface, this seems like extreme ignorance and stupidity on the part of Ofcom. Shameful.
Edit: 'an Ofcom spokesperson told 404 Media. "Under the Online Safety Act, any service that has links with the UK now has duties to protect UK users, no matter where in the world it is based' -- https://slashdot.org/story/446052
Holy fucking shit they really are that ignorant. What an embarassment.
I mean GDPR does this as well this but it's EU derived law which has the backing of 27 countries as well as the EEA. That's why the rest of the world takes it seriously.
The UK thinking it is on the same level is just delusional arrogance.
I don't understand what you're referring to with the word "this". What is it you believe the GDPR does as well?
