Yes, it's happening.

 

The source of this article doesn't even work, which means this is very unlikely.

 

Ahh, if you happen to be browsing /b/, you could have access to more links. But i lost them. I'm just saying, that if At&t does this. Then maybe other providers might follow. but it IS /b/. So it may be a massive troll.

 

Yeah they seem to be raging about how they will raid them or something along those lines..

but then again there's always the:

Is the link for those who say it doesn't work.



I wouldn't doubt /b/. Some are pretty good hackers and are willing to go the distance for the fuck of it.

 

These days they're pretty much taken over by 14 year old rebels.

"omg boxxy."

"mudkips. lol"

(I know, I know. I see the irony in my post.)

 

Haha. I think they're pretty serious about it though, but i think its a smart idea from at&t to go for 4chan first, because they will fight the hardest.

 

Lol.



Not sure why, but /b/ took an extremely long time to load, not sure why. And I have Bellsouth.

 

Ahh, it does that sometimes.

 

As of right now, ATT has not blocked 4chan. Sorry.

 

And, you have ATT to prove this?

 

I do on my blackberry, it still works.

 

-Most AT&T DSL (largest ISP in the US, 15.5% of US Internet users) customers ARE currently not able to access img.4chan.org (/b/ & /r9k/)
-There are a few AT&T DSL users that are NOT affected. Kansas, Florida, and Ohio are where we've gotten those reports. AT&T is a megacorp made from the smaller pieces it was broken down into in the 80s- different equipment and such.
-AT&T Mobility (Cell Phones) and AT&T Uverse customers ARE NOT AFFECTED.
-It IS NOT a DNS issue. Affected people have tried OpenDNS with no success.
-It IS very visible on a traceroute. It drops within the AT&T network.
-It DOES NOT affect AT&Ts Tier 1 backbone (major bandwidth backbone in US).
-It DOES NOT affect other servers on 4chan.
-People HAVE called customer service (allegedly) and confirmed a block, but agents have denied further info.

Stay tuned for future details. AT&T picked the wrong community to block.


From /b/

 

What he said ^

MOOT verified it. Sorry to burst your bubble

 

Articles here here and here.

AT&T is claiming that DDOS'ers were raping their bandwidth attacking /b/. But they block /b/ and /r9k/, and still haven't contacted moot about it. Reeks of censorship IMO.

 

To be honest I wouldn't even be surprised to see this implented.

Child porn has already been banned

 

You didn't read anything, and are on a Spam Run.

There IS NO Internet Censorship being implemented... yet.

It's only because ATT&T was being DDoS'd by IPs, some of which were traced to 4chan's /b/ and /r9k/.
