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

[Phopojijo]

So do any of you think the government should not block kiddie porn sites?

No...

They should take the legal route with judges and fucking horizontal/vertical accountability.

And it should honestly be about fuckin' child porn... else we'll creep ever closer to China's no-disguise blackout of CNN and other things they find "bad".

Seriously, watch CNN in a Chinese hotel... story occurs they don't like? It goes black... 2 minutes later it's back...

And this isn't about blocking Child Porn... AT&T didn't do it nationally... they didn't claim Child Porn... they just did it because they could.

/b/ isn't billed as a child porn board, and isn't dedicated to such. It does appear on it occasionally, but it hardly warrants blocking the entire thing.

[NullZero]

If someone was really after CP, it's incredibly easy to find using the Tor networks. They post CP on 4chan to troll and gain more attention

[Phopojijo]

If I'm not mistaken 4Chan bans/removes Child Porn anyway.

[Masterz1337]

Where did I say /b/ had child porn? I'm just asking if you think it's alright for that to be censored.

[Roostervier]

Why don't you actually read the post phopo made as an actual response to your question, i think thats your answer

Some /b/tard found out that they didn't block it because of CP (that's just the official story).

In reality, all the newfags who have been downloading viruses and inadvertantly DDoSing 4chan are the problem. It's wrecking AT&T's bandwidth; they're blocking it to prevent that.

Whether that's better or worse, I don't know.

[Aerowyn]

Actually, so I heard that it's just Reddit being a bunch of trolls.

[Roostervier]

huh? if you mean its fake, i actually tried going to /b/ and it didnt work. |:

[Donut]

just a general fyi for everyone, since alot more people than i expected dont know this, but 4chan was originally created just to be an image upload site, and all of the /<letter here>/ parts of the site denote what kind of pictures can be found there. /b/ is for "random", and for example, /k/ is weapons

censoring a "random image" section of a site means they are censoring anything that can be considered "random". last time i checked, if i generate a random number, it can be any number. if im going to censor random numbers, then im censoring all of the numbers. and what logical reason could they possibly have for censoring 4chan's random image board? to stop kids from being desensitised? thats fine, shut down the idiots at 4chan while thousands of raunchy porn sites are free to contaminate the minds of the children, who are quite possibly those same little assfucks who backtalk their parents for half an hour asking fordemanding a chalupa.

tl;dr whats the fucking point?
