AT&T against 4chan?

[copper]

Wow.
Did any of you seen this?

AT&T is now blocking all access to img.4chan.org, effectively blacklisting /b/ and censoring the internet.

Considering how the vast majority of content on 4chan is questionable in terms of legality (from self produced child pornography to organised cyber attacks), I'm actually amazed that it hasn't been shutdown before.

The only reason it's still up is because of the safe harbour laws allow moot to not be responsible for the content, and the clever use of a 100% lack of records of visitors, so there's no way to identify people.

Even if 4chan itself goes down, there's plenty of immitators that people will flock to instead, like 7chan and 2chan.
