Verizon Blocks 4chan - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Hypothermic;20101341]*chan is shit[/QUOTE] You're an uncool kid.

[QUOTE=HookJ;20101963]Yeah the OIFY and 4chan are nothing alike, it's like if you compared WoW and TF2, both have many fans who are nerds, some are fans of both, but one's slightly less shitty and life-wasting.[/QUOTE] ...Which one? Also, can't people just change proxy preferences in firefox to use a different port like 8080? [editline]07:45PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Teh Zip File;20102914]Blocking 4chan isn't [I]that[/I] bad... But they'll start blocking more sites. :ohdear:[/QUOTE] I think they are just trying to block sites that provide CP to pedophiles. And why wouldn't they?

[QUOTE=laurencedgreat;20101722]moot is smexy.[/QUOTE] Shit I started to get an erection from that. I guess I have low standards.

:nyd: Verizon

[QUOTE=Doctor_Communism;20103686]You're an uncool kid.[/QUOTE] You aren't cooler than him

[QUOTE=Foda;20099583]that's not the point. verizon has no right to censor the internet. just because /b is a shithole does not mean all the other boards are.[/QUOTE] Uh, yeah, they do. You're paying to use their service, it's voluntary, if you don't agree to their terms of service then you can use another service provider at any time under your own will.

[QUOTE=Quilnux;20102992]Only reason Verizon would block it is if the attack was taking out their servers. No company tolerates attacks of any kind. If they attacked Google, Google would have done the same thing. 4Chan shouldn't have started the fight. If they wouldn't have attacked they wouldn't be blocked.[/QUOTE] You act like 4chan is one single entity.

[QUOTE=OnDemand;20101675]I don't know why they would block 4chan.. The admin seems like a responsible and formal person.[/QUOTE] Yes he is very formal. [IMG]http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/306/mootindresspluscatears.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=Wii60;20103903]Yes he is very formal. [/QUOTE] :psyboom:

[QUOTE=OrDnAs;20103831]You aren't cooler than him[/QUOTE] I'm radder.

[QUOTE=Wii60;20103903]Yes he is very formal.[/QUOTE] :suicide:

[QUOTE=scriptwanter;20103652] Anyway the Internet should be censored for child porn, political slander and blasphemy.[/QUOTE] This is the ideal censorship argument. When people say no to censorship, the first argument that comes back is something along the lines of "So you like CP?". The Internet should stay uncensored for a greater good. CP should be fought and not just covered-up via simple DNS blocks every pedo can circumvent.

I just checked this out (I have verizon) and it still works....

/b/ seems dumb but they can really fuck shit up.

[QUOTE=Xplodzion;20099479]... And nothing of value was lost. Why does 4chan even exist?[/QUOTE] Cause cancer has to exist somewhere other than here. [editline]08:50PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Fables;20103860]You act like 4chan is one single entity.[/QUOTE] Evidently not a /b/tard

[QUOTE=bravehat;20104836]Cause cancer has to exist somewhere other than here. [/QUOTE] Little late for that, most people here on facepunch are under age 4chan faggots.

[QUOTE=TurbisV2;20099667]I'm all in for banning 4chan off the face of earth, but censoring the internet is a dicky thing to do.[/QUOTE] Where do you think 4chan will go if the site is shut down?

[QUOTE=vBullshit;20101608]So... Facepunch hates 4Chan... Then because it's blocked we all go "Oh teh nhoez!"[/QUOTE] We could tell you why a million times to your face but you're too dense to understand.

[QUOTE=Hunterbrute;20104877]Little late for that, most people here on facepunch are under age 4chan faggots.[/QUOTE] *coughs* Ahem, not all of em are under aged, or faggots. Cunt [editline]09:04PM[/editline] [QUOTE=mastersrp;20104984]Where do you think 4chan will go if the site is shut down?[/QUOTE] Not here anyway, probably to the million other chan boards out there.

Cannot end well for Verizon. Also, /sci/'s awesome.

[QUOTE=bravehat;20105100]*coughs* Ahem, not all of em are under aged, or faggots. Cunt[/QUOTE] Im sorry but anyone who visits 4chan is a faggot. This is a fact.

[QUOTE=rieda1589;20099651]Some parts of 4chan are actually good (g, p, v and sci) Regardless of the site... Censorship like this is just as bad as China. ISPs have no right to censor sites like Verizon are doing and it won't just be 4chan that ends up getting censored.[/QUOTE] [quote]Then they took away Something Awful, I did not speak out because I was not 12 years old.[/quote] yeah this guy is a moron

Well i'm an old fag and I still happilly chase women. Cite your sources, let the battle begin!!

[QUOTE=Thor667;20103548]So is this just Verizon wireless customers or the whole thing? Im on Fios and I still have access.[/QUOTE] No I can get on 4chan with my Verizon Cell phone

[QUOTE=Fables;20103860]You act like 4chan is one single entity.[/QUOTE] Doesn't matter if they are a single entity or 100 entities, each entity represents 4Chan. Doesn't matter if it's the CEO, CIO, CTO, CFO, A director or someone else. If you work for the company your actions reflect the company. Business 101.

[QUOTE=bravehat;20105100]*coughs* Ahem, not all of em are under aged, or faggots. Cunt [editline]09:04PM[/editline] Not here anyway, probably to the million other chan boards out there.[/QUOTE] so you go to 4chan?

[QUOTE=Ziron;20103664] man the verizon guy better watch out for an angry 4channer that wants to punch him in the face.[/QUOTE] I don't see why they would want to do that. It's their own fault. Let them be.

[QUOTE=Mingebox;20099671]Actually, I'm pretty sure they do have the right to censor webpages. Just like a book store has the right to not sell certain books.[/QUOTE] They do have that right, Verizon customers aren't forced to stay with Verizon service. If it were the GOVERNMENT, that's a different story. Verizon should at least have the courtesy to tell Moot WHY they're blocking 4chan.

[QUOTE=AbbySciuto;20105326]They do have that right, Verizon customers aren't forced to stay with Verizon service. If it were the GOVERNMENT, that's a different story. Verizon should at least have the courtesy to tell Moot WHY they're blocking 4chan.[/QUOTE] Yes it may not be forced, but what if Verizon has bought the cabling rights to a city/village. You have basically no choice (Except for satellite or Dialup, which both fail (DSL Isn't available everywhere))

[QUOTE=AbbySciuto;20105326]Verizon should at least have the courtesy to tell Moot WHY they're blocking 4chan.[/QUOTE] Verizon and AT&T did explain why they blocked 4chan. 4Chan attacked both AT&T and Verizon with DDoS attacks. This was in the tech news as well.
