Ofcom usually makes an announcement of some kind when it drops a fine like this. Today, zippo.This is Mr. Whiskers' cousin, Nigel J. Whiskerford...mind you: in the only country in which 4chan operates, the United States, it is breaking no law and indeed its conduct is expressly protected by the First Amendment. Clown world.For the journalists now following this story, please note that the hamster is a six-month-long running joke which even found its way into federal court filings. The hamster in a Godzilla costume is the most recent hamster, it is not the first.Replying to @prestonjbyrneOfcom raised the original joke in their motion to dismiss so we wound up having to explain it to a federal judge, which was also hilarious. Suffice it to say, I never thought a joke about service of process would go viral on X. I love the Internet.
