You agree with the terms, you must do whatever the hell they want

[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]
Actually it's more like a postal service.
I bet you'd be quite pissed if you wouldn't get your mail just because a guy called Trotsky is sending it from Russia and your post decided to block everything?
You know, I could use the same analogy for spying on internet traffic. I bet you'd be quite pissed if somebody kept snooping about all your packages, huh?

Is it a monopoly? If no, then you can't be angry. It's their service, they can do whatever they feel like.(Unless some law doesn't allow them to)

Actually, I think most people here wouldn't mind having mail from Trotsky blocked.
[QUOTE=Wolf_Marine;20100515]You people got to recall that Verizon is a private corporation, not a government agency, so if they want to censor something then by all means they can do that. Customers can go to other companies if they dislike their services.[/QUOTE]
that would work if ISPs weren't government supported monopolies in most areas.
Did anyone say why they did it?
4chan is the cess pit of the internet, controlled by a furry cross dresser.
So, unless you are using Verizon and you go on 4chan, there's no problem.
4chan is a craphole, but internet censorship is just plain dumb. I'm glad I don't use Verizon on principle.
[QUOTE=Doug52392;20099740]Intrenet forums are like gang territory in rough neighborhoods: If the dedicated hardcore ganstas' see an outsider on their turf, they'll pop you in a drive-by yo.
Like real ganstas', you can usually spot the "dedicated ganstas'" of Facepunch by looking for the OIFY insignia in their avatars.[/QUOTE]
I'm a "Dedicated Gangsta" but I know what the old OIFY was like, and to wear the OIFY branding on an avatar is a sign of disrespect.
I'm on Verizon and I can get on it. Did they unblock it?
Haven't they done this before?
[QUOTE=Hunterbrute;20105625]Fuck stop posting these contradictions.
You cant browse 4chan and not be an idiot, it is a proven fact that only idiots enjoy the company of /b/tards and only faggots love 4chan.[/QUOTE]
As a guy who frequents /m/ (Mecha for those who don't know.), Fuck you and everyone else in this thread that hates '4channers'. All we do on that board is be nerdy over the giant robot series we grew up watching\playing and we didn't do shit to you. Many of the other boards on there are full of people who never bother to go to /b/ and we always catch shit for it. Hate /b/tards all you want, but stop fucking lumping the rest of the boards in on it.

Not everyone in Iraq is a terrorist. Doesn't mean it isn't an absolute shithole.
Harpuia, everyone hates 4chan, why? :bandwagon: effect, they look at 4chan as a whole, and mostly the negative side is more prevelant then the good side all the time.
I saw this coming, they're dickwads
To everyone who has mentioned /sci/ without mentioning /lit/ (and possibly /x/), damn you to hell for not appreciating good boards.
I'll admit I go on 4chan mainly for /tv/ and /x/ and if I'm bored /h/
This is just wrong no matter any opinions.

Yup. Stuck loading it.
4chan works great for me and I have fios...

It's the principal... Also I have the right to terminate my service and go with another one... Although I don't visit 4chan that often... What Verizon is doing is fucked up.
Interesting, In 2007 Verizon censored Pro-Choice text messages (though later reversed it).

Behold!

Yeah so am I missing something or what?
Breaking:
Verizon should be unblocking boards.4chan.org later tonight.
I'll post a more detailed explanation tomorrow, but the issue is similar to the one we had with AT&T last year.

I haven't seen any evidence to support Verizon has blocked. I still have access and so do other members on this forum. So unless im missing something i don't think Verizon is blocking.
