The online message board 4chan is being investigated by the UK communications regulator over failure to comply with recently introduced online safety rules.
Ofcom says it has received complaints over potential illegal content on the website, which has not responded to its requests for information.
Under the Online Safety Act, online services must assess the risk of UK users encountering illegal content and activity on their platforms, and take steps to protect them from it.
Ofcom is also investigating porn provider First Time Videos over its age verification checks, and seven file sharing services over potential child sexual abuse material.
4chan has been contacted for comment.
