| I'm all about liberal freedom, but blocking 4chan would actually help society given how abused it is by counter-intelligence. There is bullshit spewed there constantly and no one should be subject to that trash in a functioning society. |

| I don't think you know what counter intelligence means. That'd just be a regular intelligence or government PR operation. I don't use 4chan but that stuffs pretty easy to spot on Tiktok and reddit if you're paying attention. Conspiracy type stuff is rampant on those sites. Especially around elections or conflicts like wars. Content moderation or censorship can be an equally dangerous vector for government influence campaigns as well. |

| ▲ | smolder 4 days ago | parent | next [-] | | I don't think you have a point, sorry. My post was correct. That forum is abused to create counter-factual q-anon type shit. | | |
| ▲ | dmix 4 days ago | parent [-] | | Q anon was started by Chan's admin, some random guy living in South East Asia, and was embarrassingly amateur You can be upset about the sort of content on 4chan. Most of the planet would agree. You don't need to frame it as something sophisticated because you don't like it and want it censored. | | |
| ▲ | EarlKing 4 days ago | parent | next [-] | | You're thinking of Jim Watkins who provided the hosting for 8chan, not 4chan. Two completely different image boards. | | |
| ▲ | dmix 4 days ago | parent | next [-] | | I typed "8 Chan" but it seems it was mistakenly edited it out the 8 | |
| ▲ | smolder 4 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | No, 4chan is a lie factory. There is no confusion here. |
| |
| ▲ | smolder 4 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | I don't think censorship is a good thing unless it's censoring concerted efforts to spread false information which reshape the political landscape. You are underselling the bullshit that you say "8chan admins" were responsible for. It's inexcusable. I'm not upset about the content aside from it being a clear devious effort to spread lies and shift public opinion. Stop framing it as something different. No one with a brain is buying it, and yes, we are pissed. | | |
| ▲ | EarlKing 4 days ago | parent [-] | | The funny thing about "false information" being "spread" by "8chan admins" (or 4chan for that matter) is.... you can avoid it by simply not going there. Stop going there if you don't like it. | | |
| ▲ | smolder 4 days ago | parent | next [-] | | So true! I wish people would stop eating up the false information from 4chan and whatever else chan, 8chan apparently but the reference got removed. Its a cesspool. | |
| ▲ | smolder 4 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Have you considered that spreading false information is common on that forum that i should simply not attend? Maybe the idiots you talk to on 4chan should be held to a higher standard? Or do you think "doing your own research" means believing in the first thing a right wing retard news source tells you? | | |
| ▲ | EarlKing 3 days ago | parent | next [-] | | If "false information" is common there... don't go there. No, I don't think they, or indeed anyone, needs to be held to a "higher standard". No one is obligated to tell you "the truth" as you see it. If you're uncomfortable being on a forum where you opinions may be challenged then the American side of the Internet simply isn't for you. In fact, if it really bothers you that much, may I suggest that your country recommend de-peering from the global Internet? That would certainly solve the problem. | |
