    Default American ISPs blocking 4chan.

    Yo. Pretty serious business, this is going on atm. AT&T and Cogent (American ISPs) are confirmed to be blocking their customer's access to 4chan's /b/ and /r9k/. This should not be allowed. Anyone here effected?

    Because this affects the whole world. If even 1 ISP (in a non-third world country, not like china or finland or whatever) is allowed to get away with it then before you know it it will be blocked here too. And who's to say they'll stop at 4chan? If they get away with blocking 4chan, they'll get away with blocking warez, sites on political/ethical issues etc. Basically whatever they decide.

    I think 4chan is fucking wrong. If it wasnt full of shock material then its okay.
    Faith is an oasis in the heart which will never be reached by the caravan of thinking.

    Just a matter of time before /b/ launches a big action/raid/whatever to get unrestricted internet access again.

    It's already underway, and its not really a raid, more of a public outcry of /b/tards and other internet citizens in general. Check the ED to see what everyones doing

    While I couldn't care less that /b/ itself is being blocked, this sets a bad precedent, which could get sites that I DO care about blocked, because they may be objectionable to some people.

    I don't care for 4chan, but if they get away with this then they could ban site that I love. How can we help?

    They'll back down. Entire countries will have no monetary loss if they block sites, but individual companies like AT&T or Cogent will. People will switch to other ISPs, and money will be lost.

    EDIT: From http://tech.slashdot.org/story/09/07...Part-of-4chan: "Readers' comments below suggest that a) the purpose of the block was to curtail the effects of a serious DDoS attack and b) that the block has now been lifted, at least for some regions."

    This health care plan is spending more than its saving, and this internet "security" is bullshit.
