I don't know if its true or not, but I have been hearing rumors that AT&T will be blocking ALL of its users from 4chan. Which is censorship and seems like an all-around bad idea. (talk about backlash)
But, just incase it IS real... who do you think will end up winning? Also, what do you think the consequences of it will be?
I must disagree that the entirety of 4chan is a complete loss in terms of both civility and humanity. Most of that is centered around one particular imageboard and most of the others are quite tame in comparison. Granted, I might go as far as to claim that a majority of the users are as you described, but I feel that at least some of them are quite alright.
Also, completely blocking or censoring any website or web content without the consent of the owner of the device is a blow to net neutrality. I doubt that AT&T would want to be labeled as such. However, I'm certain they could find a way to block only that certain imageboard that causes and receives such a great deal of drama and chaos and not one person would bat an eye.
In all seriousness, though, I think a step towards the Chinese approach to the internet-that is, to completely block all forms of pornography and other things labeled as immoral and sites with damaging remarks in regard to the government-might be just what this country needs to bring us back towards the civilized nation we once were.
The thing is that 4chan was not even able to do much of anything to scientology. I don't think there is much they can do it AT&T.
But it IS a major blow to net neutrality. While 4chan itself might not be able to hack AT&T or something, I am sure some of the people that want to see 4chan have lawyers.
ATT truely underestimate the processing power of the interwebz!
What part of BWAAWHAHAHAHA don't they understand?
On the serious side ATT is going to lose this if 4chaners get on the move...like seriously att is the worst network ever...

I will play what wins, not what is convenient. Personal preference is nothing, The win is all that matters. I will netdeck at every opportunity, but I will not let that stifle my creativity. Style points do not appear on tournament reports. A good deck with an incompetent pilot is nothing more than a dressed up match win. I will crush my opponent mercilessly, and expect no less from him. Victory is its own reward, The prize is just a bonus.

But the "power" 4chan has, the way is has acquired this power, and the methods in which it exercises this power, is both laughable and scary at the same time.

I'm nerd enough to link my WoW Armory Though I'll put it in a small font.
Yeah, they have so much power. Look how they DEMOLISHED scientology... oh wait...
Well, I guess, as Lam said, At&t was not really trying to shut them down anyway.
They do have a lot of power for completely unorganized group of people who can't even settle down on what is the right way to wipe your ass.

Dude scientology didn't need 4chan to demolish it, all you have to do is ask a member to explain their reason behind their madness and it demolishes it self...And keep in mind the V for vendetta masks are now out of production because they are now known as a terrorist symbol in the US...so they did something...

Remember this is the In-Ter-Webs. There are lots of make-believe stories.

That would probably be one of the more mundane threads on b. I don't go to b or r9k though so it hardly matters. However this may shunt unwanted traffic into other boards. We already get annoying anontalk spam but bored btards would be much worse.

? What does this even mean?
I said "if its real, what are the implications?" In the OP.
Considering that 4chan is in the end a bunch of idiots, I just wanna see where it goes because everytime they make news I think "wow that's pathetic." AT&T shouldn't even be wasting their time...

If you have ever played with or against a goblin deck, you know that enough stupid beings put together can be a force to be reckoned with.

As much as I'm against the OTT view that this card is going to solo tournaments, cure cancer and make Susan Boyle attractive I'm not really a fan of the opposing camp who think it slaughters puppies and sired Justin Bieber.
They are a bunch of idiots who know what the law is. Wow, thats sooooo amazing.

seriously though this is ridiculous. It isn't as if 4chan is training terrorists or something.
