AT&T Blacklists /b/. Internet currently flipping the fuck out.

I don't go to /b/, but what the shit.

This does not bode well.

Good. :realsmug:

what the fuck, i use att : |

brb switchin isps (dont care about 4chan but this is going to go down a bad road)

Heh. Finally someone's taking charge. /mobileporn

What did they filter it under?

SAVE US TED STEVENS

(this is bull****)

((preparing myself for the era of internet censorship))

I dont use AT&T. I dont use /b/, and personally dont care for /b/.

However this fucking sucks, who the hell do AT&T think they are? Its not up to them to censor the Internet.

I mean, theres more than just porn on /b/, right?

Hey guys, I go to /b/ several times a day. :iamafag:
Also, fuck internet censorship hurf durf

I'm guessing there's a little clause in the AT&T contract that its users accept which states that they have the authority to deny access to sites, which pretty much makes any argument invalid, unless you can throw a 1st Amendment at them, which'll take forever to properly affect anything.

Likely, /b/ will spam the shit out of AT&T representatives until they get bored or AT&T changes something. Guess which one will happen first.

Of course, I do indeed think this is bullshit, and am currently composing a well-written, angry e-mail to send off.

I saw the thread on /g/ (Technology) a few minutes ago. Bunch of /b/tards going in there right now and whining about it.
Thread going on about it on /b/, too. Iphone users and anyone using AT&T 3G can get on, but landlines are a no-go. Not sure how much longer it'll be until it spreads to 3G, too.
Basically, any servers filed under img.4chan.org (the infamous /b/ and the actually not bad /r9k/) are blocked.

I'm glad they chose 4chan first, not because I hate the guys on /b/ (I pop in there every now and then, too, mostly to try to get a quick laugh), but because I know /b/ is most likely to launch a counterattack. Bunch of threads flying around right this very moment, actually, all planning some sort of retaliation. Most are promoting diplomacy and angry letters, surprisingly. I only count 1 thread trying to get people to DDOS the AT&T site.
