you realize that most 4channers consider /pol/ to be cancer to be contained within that forum right

Just went on a random 4chan board and there's a bunch of racism and sexism. It's not a nice place

to be fair im sure not all boards are like that, like im sure the pokemon and 3d printing ones are okay. any of them to do with gaming are terrible. it's a mixed bag. and certainly not something the government should be banning. but i choose not to use my time to visit it, thats for sure

Y'know the same way stopping music piracy would require radically restructuring the internet, except bonking one or two of the most popular has been enough to dramatically cut it.

Don't discount the convenience of streaming on this one

too many people calling for radical censorship don't get how the internet works

Yep.

There's very very few (if any) decentralized protocols that can resist an ISP blocking communications, for example.

It's never been anynomous. Every device on the internet has a unique address. The anyononimity is strictly a social construct.

Can you talk to me about why a CDN isn't responsible for what it hosts? The only issue I can think of is that it hampers their performance, which I'm not going to cry over any time soon.

I thought the tumblr community scattered?

Honestly there is maybe 1 or 2 threads about the actual games and it is usually a simple "trading/battle" post.

CDN's are really close to just being common carries. So for the same reason you can't sue the ISP for serving the content.
