I can't catch a break. I skipped ship on charter cable due to their excessive capping, chapter 11, and general crappiness to move to AT&T U-verse service. Now this company is doing crappy things: http://status.4chan.org/ quote:Sunday, July 26, 2009 I don't use 4chan, don't really care about 4chan, but I really dislike my ISP deciding for me that it's not a site I should see. Here's what it looks like from here: quote:C:\Users\David>tracert img.4chan.org So just outside of my neighborhood it filters it out to nothing. Thanks, AT&T! What sites will you decide aren't ok for me to view next? Edit: Now on techcrunch: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/2...ng-to-get-ugly/ Now on digg: http://digg.com/tech_news/AT_T_blocks_4chan Edit again - looks like they stopped blocking, and the news has hit more sites this morning: http://tech.slashdot.org/story/09/0...s-Part-of-4chan http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/2...er-ddos-attack/ http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/...th-4Chan-103616 http://gizmodo.com/5323624/why-did-att-block-4chan thedavid fucked around with this message at Jul 27, 2009 around 14:18 |

One one hand I hate censorship... on the other I hate 4chan... Just can't seem to care.

It doesn't matter WHAT content they're blocking, it's that they're blocking any content at all, you shits.

Isn't this illegal? I thought the FCC slammed Comcast for doing this with bittorrent not too long ago.

I'm opposed to censorship in any forms when it's applied to adults. If I was with AT&T I'd consider leaving if they didn't reverse this policy after the imminent furore. Regardless of /b's content, no ISP should get away with this. EDIT: "First they came for the /b/ 'tards, but I said nothing..."

An ISP really shouldn't have the right to block a site. If the site is that bad, it should be reported to the authorities and shut down that way. Blocking a site like that is shady as hell.

For all you people who say 'I don't read 4chan, so I don't give a poo poo'. One day, they may block a site you DO read. That's the point.

Boat posted:Wonder if it's got anything at all to do with Scientology and stuff like this. That could very well be the case. I'm sure AT&T care more about being sued and losing money to those very well-funded cultists than they do about censoring people. Oh, well, if anything I hope the guy who runs 4chan gets some publicity makes some money through banner ads to pay off his bills which were apparently threatening to bankrupt him.

I can understand not liking 4chan, but being ok with an ISP deciding to just block a website? That's really hosed up, and if I was an affected user, I would consider leaving AT&T.
