| ▲ | bediger4000 8 days ago | parent [-] | | I'm not sure what size bribes the current administration takes. I'm sure that in some situations haggling takes place. Trump, as a professed Christian, could possibly take a "widow's mites" approach to a bribe from 4chan. | | |
| ▲ | lupusreal 7 days ago | parent [-] | | If anything, it is in 4chan's interest to be banned by UK ISPs since this will induce the sale of a few more passes, which permit posting from VPNs. Anyway, 4chan barely keeps the lights on as it is. Worrying about 4chan bribing politicians is absurd. Either politicians will help 4chan out of some sense of self-interest, or they won't help at all. | | |

I sense a bit of a flaw in this strategy, given that 4chan being banned in UK would presumably block any payments for passes from UK-origin banks/cards made to 4chan bank accounts as well. | | |
| ▲ | lupusreal 7 days ago | parent [-] | | 4chan no longer accepts any such payment anyway. They only take crypto through coinbase. |
