Enjoy your free internet while it lasts http://www.centralgadget.com/att-blocking-access-to-portions-of-4chan-2336/ and say hello to the great firewall of America coming in a few years.

Sucks to be in America.

I saw this and really, who cares? 4chan getting blocked is like YTMND suddenly losing its host - the best thing to happen to the Internet since AOL folded into a pile of crap.

Also this will never work too. It's as if /b/ cannot ever be relocated anywhere ever...

Or the fact that 4chan, which is filled with some fairly technically astute members, won't find a way around any kind of block. This is up there with the furor over Youtube giving preferences to paid partner videos instead of webcam stuff and disabling AMVs - it's Internet drama and it's legal.

The block has been lifted.

They wouldve just made a new site if it got completely blocked, or closed, people always do, its like trying to stop illegal downloading they aren't going to do it.

AT&T did the Internet equivalent yesterday of poking a beehive with a stick: the company blocked parts of 4chan, the Internet forum known for its pranks, hacks and the invention of the Rickroll (see AT&T Blocks 4chan). Within hours, the site’s members had begun their attacks on AT&T, including the creation of a fake rumor about the death of AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson with the intent to lower AT&T’s stock price.

Don't fuck with 4chan.

For those who are really interested in people keeping the Internet free, check out all the cases that the EFF is fighting on our behalf.

I don't even know what 4chan is.

Some people would consider you an internet virgin then. As 4chan violates you in ways that are hard to describe...

4chan is a collection of crazed internet goers that have nothing better to do than post stupid pictures and stupid forum topics.

You just described majority of the boards out there.

I think that the creation of 4chan was the actual beginning of the end. Of civilization.
