Is it time to crack down on 4Chan

Yeah. Tear down 4chan. It's a failed social experiment into the freedom of anonymity. It's main output seems to be terror attacks and plain stupidity (QAnon). They should be shut down.

"But they'll just go somewhere else". Good. Let them try. Let them constantly scurry from place to place looking for a save haven. Let them try to find new hosting. Didn't Stormfront and Voat have hosting issues and shut down? Doesn't discord ban them? Force them to focus their energy into finding a place to converge instead of egging each other into committing new atrocities.

The owners of 4chan have blood on their hands and they should at least face public repercussions. 4chan is hosted by Cloudflare.com, why isn't there public pressure on Cloudflare about this? Anyone doing business with Cloudflare is doing business with enablers of terrorism.

P.Edit: 4chan, 8chan, whatever. It all needs to go.

Then why don't we have a 4chan problem?

There is, in fact, not. At least in the US.

DeltaWave is pro hate speech, then.

"oh noes, racism will only be available to 0.05% of the population".

Porkens has the right point. The goal isn't to stop hate speech. It's to stop ANONYMOUS hate speech.

You don't need to restructure the entire internet. Someone owns/runs 4chan, make them legally responsible to moderate it's contents. Cloudflare hosts 4chan. Make Cloudflare legally responsible for what they host. Put the onus on hosts and operators to not let people eggs each other into committing violent hate-based acts.

They won't move en masse together. They will scatter, and scatter. And eventually you only have a few parts per million and they are negated.

Maybe we can't abolish racism, but we can neutralize it by dilution.

CloudFlare booted 8chan. https://new.blog.cloudflare.com/termina ... for-8chan/

Was that so hard? It only took them several mass murders before they started see a pattern.

Keep deplatforming the fuckers.

Actually, it looks like voxility has yanked the content from their servers.

which is kinda great because it means Daily Stormer came down with 8chan

I wonder if any past scummers are suddenly going to show back up.
