AT&T blocks 4chan

[Seth]

Firing one of the first shots in the net neutrality war, AT&T has blocked 4chan’s /b/ image board. AT&T subscribers are unable to connect to /b/ and /r9k/ (both of which are hosted on img.4chan.org). However, subscribers can get on any of the so-called

This is bullshit. Just the first step in their war on "cyber terrorism".

4Chan will win. ATT can't possibly keep this going, they'll have huge amounts of complaints and cancellations.

zip : bin > DOWN?
img : dat > DOWN?

am I affected? D:

 

[Dan]

Well, Anonymous are up for a fight, as usual.

4Chan are gonna win this. AT&T are eventually going to back down, they have too much at stake.

...amongst other things posting personal information about AT&T executives...

So I take it 'personal' meaning phone numbers so they can be mass called? I know 4chan (i think) used to, or still does, have a prank call board, friend said they did and that one person would be called over and over by the members asking the same question or w/e.

I thought that Internet Censoring was not allowed in the US, or is it just highly discouraged?

AT&T can do whatever they want. If people don't like it, don't use AT&T. However, I doubt it'll work because of 4chans tactics.

Operation Exhaust Port - on Tuesday, everyone is posting CNN iReports all day about the CEO of AT&T dying. This will potentially make the stock drop and could lose AT&T a lot of money depending on how well the rumor spreads.
