I assume it's mostly symbolic and/or serving some greater legal purpose.

#14What a colossal waste of time. At this point, just unplug the undersea cables, and turn the UK into a big intranet. It's clearly what Ofcom wants.

#16Good luck in trying to collect it.
I suspect Ofcom knows that 4chan isn't going to comply, they're just going through the motions before deploying the nuclear option of ordering ISPs to block it.
