In what might be one of the companies biggest mistakes, AT&T has decided to block /b/ for many of its customers.
/b/ for those who don't know, is a dark corner of the internet that only the brave should venture, (seriously, not for the faint of heart), and it the epicenter of 4chan.org and home to anonymous.
Moot, founder of 4chan, has acknowledged the issue:
It's come to our attention that AT&T is filtering/blocking img.4chan.org (/b/ & /r9k/) for many of their customers. There is no remedy at this time.
If you've been affected, I would advise you call or write customer support and corporate immediately.
Calls for Pizza Delivery to AT&T store, attacks on the AT&T network, and many other actions (most high juvenile, other highly sophisticated) are being called for.
Think about your next steps very carefully AT&T. You are a very large company with billions of dollars to lose, these are a group of internet users, with little to nothing to lose, and have a history of doing damage to those who they dislike, imagine what they will do to someone targeting them…
Will AT&T be the next Hal Turner, Scientology, or Kenny Glenn? Time will tell.
