Banning 4chan for that reason would be valid if they had a law against that to enforce.
But in the same way you don’t go after someone for tax evasion in a country they’ve never been to or interacted with, you don’t fine 4chan because they won’t start collecting IDs from users when the company is not even in your jurisdiction.
Either way, I can’t imagine people there missing 4chan. They just need to give a valid reason to block it instead of BSing a fine.
