Yes. That is the point of 4chan. Think beyond the Western style BBS system.

You're making it seem like this whole site is revolved around Japan.
It's 99% English.

Relax, buddy.

Welcome to the 21st century.

Ah, I see.

Anyways, back to the matter at hand..what reason would AT&T have for banning 4chan?

If there was a DDoS attack originating from or attempting to deny access to that IP it would be better to block that address in order to free up bandwidth. I'd say if AT&T's goal was censorship they would outright block all of 4chan's domain not just img.4chan.org.

"traceroutes indicates that AT&T is dropping img.4chan.org requests in the AT&T network."

Duh, did you not see the news?
It's because after VG posted those pictures of herself,
they deemed it a health hazard.

4chan /b/ seems to be a congregation for child porn sometimes. I visit there a lot still but am disgusted by this part of it. Most of /b/ is just anything-goes mouthing off, often very funny and there is a community, but it seems somewhat lenient to some illegal activities (although technically it is a bannable offence on the board) so that this kind of material pops up semi-regularly.

CP is the nastiest thing ever that gets posted imo and most of the time very shorty after it goes up it is taken down.
