I'm glad they started the great firewall of the USA with 4chan, since we're the ones who will fight back the hardest.

>AT&T
More like NSAT&T, amirite?

This is fucking retarded. I have been on vacation for the past 3 weeks using Comcast internet. At home I have AT&T and I'm about to go return, this is the biggest bullshit ever.

How is this necessarily a bad thing?

Kudos to AT&T. Hopefully every other ISP blocks /b/ too.

>>5163580
>we're the ones who will fight back the hardest
HURR DON'T MESS WITH ANONYMOUS

good, go away

And nothing of value was lost.

I'm more upset that they blocked r9k because I was just starting to go there instead of /b/

I have Broadstripe in Lansing, Michigan and I'm unable to reach /b/... Odd.

OK, we all agree that /b/ is shit, but that's not the point. The problem isn't what they're censoring, but the fact that they're censoring the Internet at all.

They censor img but not a-n-o-n-t-a-l-k? Great help you are, at&t.

>>5163615
Don't they rent AT&T's infrastructures ?

Who the fuck uses at&t anyways? Fucking shit company can't even support the iPhone's 3G usage and they charge $20/month than any other major provider.

To AT&T customers

Instructions to get back on /b/ or /r9k/

ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH

>>5163645
Not a permanent solution.

and nothing of value was lost

Let's not jump the gun. It could just as easily be a routing problem as censorship

However, if anyone has confirmation that it's deliberate, that's fucked. I'm not even an AT&T internet customer & I'd put effort into getting the word out. We can't give AT&T, or any other ISP, an inch when it comes to dropping websites, or they will go miles.

>>5163663
>they will go miles.
this

how long until they start blocking bestiality or hardcore porn
maybe they will declare anal to be beyond what the majority of their customers want
perhaps they will reroute all their competitors webpages to some other shit

called AT&T last night and they said any information regarding img being blocked was classified

Reddit is on the scene!

Not an option where I am. It's either AT&T or dialup.

This hurts only AT&T customers as of now, but your ISP may be next.

Hey guys, try to clear your hosts file or switch to OpenDNS, see if any of that works:

Sbc= AT&T you stupid shit

so that's why I can't access /b/? fuck that.

>>5163716
Nothing in my hosts file except what I've put there.
Doesn't work with other DNS servers.

>>5163698

The U.S. has shitty laws that grants monopolies in areas. There are absolutely no alternatives for a shitload of people.

>>5163657

This man has the right idea.

Reddit comment -
"It might be a good thing they started with 4chan. They'll probably put up more of a fight then any other internet group, which is pretty sad."

Ignoring then/than, he makes a point... Bitches dont know bout 4chan's opposition to everything

Lol the newfag butthurt in this thread is hilarious.

>>5163716
I use OpenDNS since AT&T DNS servers my network can get really slow. Still can't access img.4chan.org

>>5163716
It's not a dns issue.

>>5163716
It doesn't.

Reading Reddit, it seems to be a problem (accidental or intentional) with some of AT&T's routing. It'll drop on the DSL side, but if you're on AT&T's Tier 1 routers (backbone), nothing happens to the traffic- it is fine.

Spamming AT&T is the thin to do

AT&T IS NOT BLOCKING THE IMG BOARDS.

It's probably an issue on their end. These things happen.

Fucking tinfoil neckbeards.

It seems that they are indeed blocking it:

(Slashdot)
>bmecoli writes "AT&T seems to be blocking img.4chan.net which hosts the infamous /b/ (random) board, as well as /r9k/. Those who have contacted AT&T representatives were told that the site is in fact blocked, so this isn't a technical problem, and all the other 4chan subdomains work fine."

>>5163733
Yeah, they might DDoS AT&T's website! That'll show them!

I haven't been able to download torrents with AT&T recently either. Coincidence, or CONSPIRACY?

>>5163714

Especially if this is being done under pressure from some asshat in government, which is likely to be the case.

"Block /b/ and don't tell anyone you did it, or we'll issue a press release saying we're considering prosecuting you for refusing to shut down child pornography."

>>5163760

More like Ruin Life Tactics towards CEOs and offices. Apparently you didn't even see the Scientology raids before it turned into a bunch of hippie usurpers.

>>5163759
>Those who have contacted AT&T representatives were told that the site is in fact blocked
No they weren't.

I don't know what you faggots are talking about, I just went to /b/ with my iphone.

>>5163777
Excuse me for not feeling that a bunch of 12 year olds posting their MySpace pictures on 4chan are capable of doing anything constructive.

well, what the fuck can we do about it

>>5163777
i saw them from day one and they were fail.

the shit actually started 3 months before it's reported starting on any wiki.

the faggots were occasionally posting it but literally noone gave a fuck.

>>5163796
Switch ISPs. Call AT&T and voice your disapproval, especially if you're dropping their DSL/high speed internet. Write to your congressman and senators, and if you really give a fuck, do it by snail mail too. Go to Savetheinternet.com, report the story, and find out more.

3G network for iPhone works fine, but the main service doesn't.

Let's hope the general public sees this as "Oh no, they're blocking the people who made lolcats," not "YAY THEY STOPPED PEDOPHILES!"

>>5163796
You can change ISP and send AT&T an email explaining why you disagree with their decision and why it caused you to discontinue using their service. Or you could just go to better websites.

>>5163820
Switching ISPs is not an option for many people, including me.

OH NO THEY BLOCKED A BOARD THAT PROMOTES CHILD ABUSE AND PEDOPHILIA

THEY ARE ATTACKING OUR FUREEDUM HURRR.

Fuck off. I hope it's banned worldwide.

>>5163811
You know at this point, people might hate lolcats more than pedophiles.

>>5163830
Then take this as an opportunity to enact positive change in your life and discontinue going to /b/ and /r9k/.

Fuck all the people telling us to bend over and take it. What if they start censoring the rest of 4chan? The rest of the internet?

>>5163810
i'm not on AT&T. I can still browse /b/ fine. I don't go on /b/ anymore, but i still feel affection for them and would like to help them if possible.

i don't feel that complaining to AT&T is going to be a useful strategy. after all, when in recent times did protest actually change anything? Anyway, in legal terms, they do post illegal content pretty often. I think we will have to get creative here to save /b/, and I don't really know how yet...

>>5163860
When Comcast was trying to fuck with torrents, the FCC actually did something about it.

And illegal content is against the sites TOS. I'm sure people upload CP often to Youtube, should Youtube be blocked? Google displays it as a part of search results quite often too...

>>5163857

That won't happen. Want to know why?

Because the rest of the internet isn't a shitstain like /b/.

Morons.

Posting as anti-sage

>>5163881
AT&T DSL. Wireless is something else entirely, run by AT&T Mobility.

This would actually be a problem if /r9k/ was worth a damn. Until the spinoff relationshit board is made (lolmoot) r9k is worthless.

Maybe moot will then (lol) move r9k to a lesser used server.

We've got to help /b/ or else they'll spill over into the rest of the internets

I hate /b/ and /r9k/, but they're still blocking a website, which, IMO, is bullshit.

>>5163857
This!

Honestly, there is alot of hate toward /b/ out there, but censorship is wrong! They start with /b/ then what? The rest of 4chan? The rest of the chans? Websites that the isp does not agree with politically, ideologically? Competitors websites? Websites that give information about the isp that they dont want you to know? We must make it stop here. The internet is free, and MUST be kept as such! The isps must all be given notice that censorship will not stand. Period. Give these guys an inch and they will take a mile.

AT&T isn't blocking any of my access on my iPhone.

>>5163911
see >>5163889

>>5163877
I don't think you understand how adults in corporate America think.

>>5163920
Nothing wrong with that.

>>5163909
This. While somewhat hysterical sounding, a good point.
To those of you who say "good riddance" what will you say when they block your sites next? /g/ could be next, after all there are users on here discussing how to bypass the isp's block. Persecution will continue if this isnt stopped soon.

>>5163920

No, next it's "any website with 'chan' anywhere in the domain name, regardless of actual website content." Expediency is important to censors.

I for one am glad they did this. You fucking pedo's got PWNED. Not to mention your computers will probably run a lot cleaner since you all can't click on "loli.jpg.exe" fucking every 5 seconds.

AT&T: 1
pedofurries: 0

>>5163914

Weird that basically everyone using the laptop cards and smartphones would get full access but on dsl through the isp side they're blocked.

>>5163960
You sound like you need some loli.

>>5163909
how could we fight AT&T though? they're unimaginably powerful. aside from convincing them through letters and such, which i think would be ineffective. They already know a lot of people would like to be able to access /b/. The decision to block /b/ must have been made at a very high level, with a lot of discretion and careful consideration. After all, img.4chan.org is still probably in the top 1000 or so of all websites in the world. If illegal content is posted, and they have reason to believe it will be posted again, they can use that as justification to ban it.

Although illegal content is posted on youtube as well, it's posted less often, and it's much easier to make a case for the existence of youtube, by appealing to the values that "normal people" will agree with, than it is for 4chan.

haha this is what you all get for being retarded britfags - shit like this would never happen in the good olde us of a!

First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.

>>5163920
i can't wait

A few ideas here.
Couldn't Moot bring up legal actions against AT&T for this? In essence what they have done is block a portion of hits from his site making the value of the site go down as he advertises in /b/. Couldn't AT&T have to then block any and all connections to any P2P networks? As they constantly have "illegal" content. If they don't block torrent sites but they've blocked /b/ (showing they have the ability to block questionable sites) wouldn't that then make AT&T liable in any copyright infringement suits that arise from torrent use because they didn't block it?

>>5163969
fuck off pedofag

>>5163967
European troll. AT&T is the biggest ISP in the U.S.

fuck you pedo

Im in oklahoma motherfucker. Shit is happening here. Now.

>>5163967
>>5163977
Hell, the A in AT&T stands for American.

Who the fuck cares about the pedophiles? This is about censorship!

>>5163972
Blocking the redundant traffic that is torrents makes much more sense than blocking /b/.

>>5163830
Isn't 3G coverage universal in the US? I live in the middle of fucking nowhere (notamerica) and 4 providers cover me for roughly the same price/speed as a DSL connection.

It's not ideal obviously but if you are really that upset you could do it.

>>5163985
sup man

>>5163990
who cares about censorship? are you some sort of terrorist pedo? its not censorship - its about protecting FREEDOM! you should be shot -fucking terrorist!

>>5163996
Not even close.

>>5163994
I know right. In blocking torrents they could justify that they are helping to preserve the rights of the copyright holder, and saving the recorded media industry, as well as some other corporate BS they'll brew up (network usage). But blocking /b/ only shows that they think that they can decide what you have the right to view on your computer, and hurts the profitability of this site for Moot and his advertisers.
Moot should sue!

xkcd says:
> What IP blocks do their corporate offices have? If they're really cutting off my trashy time-wasting web entertainment, I'm cutting off theirs.

As much as I hate img, it's a necessary evil to keep the majority of the cancer off of the rest of 4chan.

>>5163997
Trying to reclaim the internets.

Censorship isnt supposed to happen in america amirite? All we hear about on the news is how horrible censorship is in other countries (china, north korea, ect.) and then this shit is allowed to go down here?

And ffs people, its not just about saving /b/. Its about saving the internets from tyranny in general!

>>5163972
Doesn't have the resources. Fuck, AT&T is huge.

This is a good class action suit though.

>>5163996
Latency, plus cost. 3G is much more in America. And coverage.

>>5164013
Troll.

>>5163989
AT&T used to stand for "American Telecom & Telegraph" but now, like the SAT, it is no longer officially an acronym.

>>5163972
It's their network; they can do whatever they like, what is he gonna sue them for?

Maybe customers could sue for violation of contract but it's almost certain they have a clause to prevent that.

>>5164013
A lack of censorship is a part of my freedom.

I didn't even know AT&T was blocking img.4chan.org and I use AT&T.............

still this rages me I am going to complain.

since at&t is b& from img it's surprisingly fast.

A really enjoyable experience now.

Story is orange on Slashdot's firehose. If it gets upvoted to red it is almost certain to reach the front page.

My question is, if they've blocked /b/, what have the blocked that we don't even know about yet? You all don't really think the only website blocked is /b/ do you?

>>5164051
for now yes

I don't browse /b/ period, but i do go on /r9k/ sometimes because it's DEEEEEP.

But the very fact my ISP would block a website irks me. This is basically censorship! This shit happens only in China or somewhere like that.

> continuation of that thread we didn't want

>>5164071
its not censorship - its freedom - enjoy it.

>>5163990
Fucking pedo

>>5164028
He could sue for reduction of traffic, which in turn reduces the that he can sell advertising space for.
Fuck, I though that was only obvious.
Or at the very least he could send a cease and desist order.
This could be viewed as an attack on this site by AT&T.

>>5164074
Why are you in this thread, then?

How exactly do you file a complaint about this? Call them up and say "Ohh yes, i am threatening to cancel my service if you don't un-block /b/ that does indeed sometimes post illegal stuff like CP i'm SUPER SRS GAIZ!" ???

>>5164092
He sage'd, which does not bump the thread.

>>5164028
at&t took that attitude for a number of their services and issues with said services. didn't stop them from losing lawsuits over them.

>>5164025
The Internet is a privilege. Not a right. It's like any other form of media. Are you going to get anywhere if you bitch to any television providers that you don't see enough tits and ass on your networks? Nope.

Only aspies with no life bitch about their freedom on the internets. You can always read a book faggots.

This man is going places.

>>5164095
You say: "You censored a website. I pay for access to the internet. I do not pay for access to your idea of the internet."

>>5164089
Moot doesn't have a -right- to have this site serviced by AT&T, that'd be retarded. It's their network, their property, their service. If your service (4chan) relies on it when they've never agreed to unconditionally service you that's your problem.

>>5164041
does you has link?

>>5164108
Speaking of books, I have a recommendation for you. It's called Fahrenheit 451. You might also be interested in 1984.

>>5164108
And providers right now are required to give free access to the internet Just like AT&T cannot listen to or prevent you from calling certain people without your consent, they shouldn't be able to filter sites.

>>5164119
Protip: He is a troll.

>>5164085

Again.

I remember the Britfags going through this with their AT&T (BT). Does anyone know how that turned out?

>>5164108
censorship is not a privilege

>>5164107
From customers, not website owners.

/b/ is pretty useless and all, but to say its nothing but cp is retarded. also to fucking have a site blocked by your isp, its bullshit. its like others say this is the start, but just how far will they go? there is a lot of objectionable content that is fully legal and if the corporate bigwigs got their way would easily start censoring it. i'm not a tinfoil hat type, government isn't smart enough to do the conspiracy shit, but insane conservatives corporate types to be massive fail.

>>5164148

reddit. a thinking man's digg.

>>5164157

must be one of those UNC vs. DOS pathname habits

>>>/b/148739016

>>5164123
But by AT&T limiting their customers rights they hurt Moots pocket.
Basically it's like I have a fried chicken and watermelon store, and you and some friends decide to block entry to all black customers. That would in turn significantly reduce my ability to turn a profit.

>>5164163
Ha, thanks. It's not that, it's LaTeX.

It's simple. Rape everyone employed by AT&T. Then, we kill the Batman.

As much as I hate /b/ it serves as a holding ground for idiots. If /b/ is blocked they are going to spill over into other boards.

All of you niggers crying about your rights need to gtfo. The first amendment does not apply on private property. That includes AT&T's network.

Now, if they violated your contract as a customer, then fine you can cry about that. But stfu about this civil liberties shit.

Sorry for hurrdurrping but what is AT&T?

Kansas AT&T user here. /b/ works just fine.

You people are a bunch of fucking liars.

Someone with google voice call these guys and record the official AT&T position so they can't deny it later.

I'm not actively PREVENTING people from using your shit, you just chose to use my service - you can't sue me when I never agreed to give you anything. That's not how the law works.

>>5164174
AT&T owns 4chan? Awesome.

Wait, they don't.

It's not 'private property'. AT&T just connects you to a site, which, if anything, would be the private property.

What you're saying is that, if your phone company censors a number of your friend who has a different phone company, without his consent, without reason or notice, it's their right.

>>5164177
You's trollin

Oklahoma att user here, and shit's fucked up

I don't care about child porn or /b/, but I am an opponent of censorship.

This is just not cricket.

>>5164148
It was wikipedia so there was a fair bit of outrcy and the decision was reversed.

Also it was more than one ISP since they all use a CP site block list and the wiki article was added to it. So it was the CP site list makers who reverted, not the ISPs.

For the people who are AT&T customers who say they CAN get on: I've only heard of Florida & Kansas not being blocked.

Keep in mind, AT&T uses different equipment and is a gigantic monster from a variety of company mergers.

AT&T is a bigass ISP in the US. That is a lot of users lost from /b/

>>5164223
They own the fiber optics/phone lines in which it goes through, not any information that passes through them.

/a/, /g/...

HAHAHA @ amerifags

>>5164148
BT isn't blocking 4chan at least.

AT&T is not my corporate parents. I don't need them telling me what sites I can and cannot visit. If /b/ was really that bad, then the feds could shut it down. But /b/ isn't breaking any laws (some users on /b/ are). Therefore AT&T has no right to limit access to a legitimate (I know) site. I have signed a contract with AT&T to be an "internet service provider". They provide me with the service. They don't get to tell me what I can and can't view.

>>5164242
AT&T owns a good part of the long haul backbone responsible for carrying internet traffic of many companies throughout the US.

Their Tier 1 servers aren't blocking though, only the DSL customers. AT&T Uverse customers are supposedly unaffected.

>>5164257
If you live in the western world you'll be affected by the shitstorm this is sure to cause soon enough. Now's not the time to point fingers.

this is why we need net neutrality

>>5164270

Calling yourself a "libertarian conservative" is an oxymoron.

Point out where in the constitution it says you have a right to all internet sites. Actually where you have a right to internet at all.

>>5164323
It is if you AGREED TO A FUCKING CONTRACT saying that I could stop you driving places at will. Seriously, read that shit, if you didn't it's your own jew fault. Stop whining about it now.

i get the feeling this is going to be a 'ahh we we're just kidding that was an accident, not intentional, forgive us' kind of event.

in other words, a test, testing the waters of censorship? so easy to deny.

>>5164297

Your suspicions would be wrong. To your suggestion, I have read my contract. Nowhere in my contract does it state that AT&T has a right to block access to websites that are legally owned and operated. If you can find where it does, I'd be more than willing to listen.

It is possible that they are starting with /b/ as a test case. (Who will publicly defend that cesspool)? Once they win in court, then they have precedent and can start to define exactly how you will use the internet. It was really only a matter of time before this started to happen. I've been online since 2600 baud modems. I've long thought we were living in the wild west days of the internet. Restrictions on the internet have been coming for ages. It is up to consumers to demand that companies not engage in needless regulation and censorship. If the masses accept the corporate web, then all we will get it youtube, facebook, etc.

Also, this is why I don't like monopolies. However that is a different discussion.

>Severe misunderstandings of property rights and law ITT.

Indeed, your analogy would be called an easement and legally you must allow people access to your road so they can get to Walmart. Not only that but you must pay for the upkeep of the road out of your own pocket.

Naturally phone lines and roads are 2 different things and we pay the phone companies for use of the phone lines. However that doesn't give them the right to tell us how we can use our phones or give them the right to tell us "you can't surf this web site." This is nothing short of denial of free speech.

Oh well. Move then.

>>5164358
>Nowhere in my contract does it state that AT&T has a right to block access to websites that are legally owned and operated. If you can find where it does, I'd be more than willing to listen.

It almost definitely says they can terminate any part of your service for any reason or something to that effect. It's in almost every service you ever sign up for or use, I doubt AT&T's lawyers missed that legal trick.

>>5164350

His analogy isn't quite right. The government owns the roads. Public benefit, blah blah blah.

The constitution also doesn't say you have a right to privacy, or an abortion. It has been interpreted that way. So lay off the ZOMG TEH CONSTITUION DOESN'T SAY INTERNET SO IT ISN'T PROTECTED rants.

i'd contribute money towards a project instituting cox/comcast/etc service in AT&T-only regions. i'd subsidize that.

>>5164371 However that doesn't give them the right to tell us how we can use our phones or give them the right to tell us "you can't surf this web site."

who the hell cares about /b/, delete this thread immediately.

>>5164343
that's far besides the point. not to mention a lot of people can't get other services in their area. i have comcast and used to have at&t, but at&t was so slow where i am that even thinking of ditching comcast (for their massive fail of stability with my service) would be a shot in my own foot.

monitor what illegal websites people go to for all i care, but the fact is nothing should be blocked.

>img blocked for atnt
god i hope my isp blocks img too. i've been going on /b/ a little too much lately

as long as i've got zip i'm fine

>>5164378

>or something to that effect

I don't think that is a good legal rationale that will stand up in court. Like I said, find the statement and I'll listen.

>>5164362
there's quite a bit in there about that. Read the section about how they can block any content they deem to be in violation of the law or in breach of their own personal standards.

>>5164384
Telecom monopolies are natural monopolies, they are limited by the government because the resources required does not make it profitable for one to setup their own ISP. They are allowed to be a natural monopoly but they have limitations - namely, quality and availability of service.

>>5164371
You're assuming I have the only road. I never said that. For the analogy to be accurate there are other roads (ISPs). I don't need to let you use my road for you to get Walmart. It might be -convenient- for you to use my road, but that's a different thing. It might also be convenient for you to drive right across my field.

>This is nothing short of denial of free speech.
Freedom of speech does not exist on private property.

>>5164378
This isn't "termination" this is "censorship" get your legal terms right. If a phone company cuts off your service, it's "termination", if a phone company refuses to connect a call because it doesn't like the person you're trying to call, that's "censorship."

The roads leading into Disney are Disney's private property. They can block you from accessing their property. You can't be blocked from driving down a public road. End this analogy.

>no more baby fuck and relationshit threads

>>5164404
Telecom isn't a monopoly where I am. I could switch to comcast if at&t pissed me off.

>>5163749
>It's probably an issue on their end. These things happen.
Why would they have an issue that involves just one specific address on the internet?

>>5164399
>>5164399
>>5164399

the only problem with this, is that if /b/ is blocked, all the other boards will be filled with the retards that can't access /b/ anymore

The government has the duty to provide to the people.
If ATT blocks shit out, that fine on their part, but the people should have a right to an alternative, which they currently don't since its pretty much a localized monopoly.

>>5164402
You mean

b. Monitoring and Removal of Content. AT&T does not pre-screen Content, but AT&T and its designees shall have the right (but not the obligation) to monitor any and all traffic routed though the Service, and in their sole discretion to refuse, block, move or remove any Content that is available via the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, we shall have the right to remove any Content that violates this Agreement or is otherwise objectionable. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use of any Content, including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such Content. In this regard, you acknowledge that you may not rely on any Content created by us or submitted to us.

Which only states any content that they control or is created on their network (servers aren't their network) they can block and delete freely.

Nothing about censoring and denying access to content outside their service (i.e. every single non-AT&T site).

Nobody really knows if it is an actually censoring of img.4chan.org or just a technically malfunction

Besides i lol'd

i couldn't care less about CP. i miss the lulz and fail on /b/. i miss the random bullshit and even the cancer.

ANYONE WHO SAYS AT&T HAS THE RIGHT TO CENSOR IS A COMMUNIST AND SHOULD MOVE BACK TO NORTH KOREA

>>5164419

I'm stating the truth.

Just as Comcast is known for throttling traffic, AT&T, in their discretion, is allowed to block websites as they please. They made the investment for millions of dollars of broadband equipment -- regardless of how utopian we'd like things to be, it's their equipment and it's their choice. There is nothing in their AUP or TOS stopping them from this.

The only way to stop this is to vote with your money and jump ship to another provider, or shut the fuck up and wait for it to pass.

>>5164443
It is blocking on their end, only one domain is affected, other DNS servers don't work.

Read the thread before you post, etc.

Those that have AT&T deserve this. They should use Verizon. It's far superior.

>>5164409
No. You might like to call it censorship because that implies certain things. But it is stated that they can cancel your entire service or any PART of your service.

>>5163554
And nothing of value was lost

HAY GUISE, FUCK AT&T, USE PROXY

>>5164464
This isn't a "part" of the service, it's a part of a part, or an object in a part.

Blocking a part would be denying access to their DNS servers entirely, not a domain that they don't own.

>>5164458

Allowing them to do as they please is actually quite the free market principle.

lol AT&T blows balls
glad i have cox
it sounds like cocks too
awesum!

>>5164461

NOT EVERY ISP IS AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY MORON

>>5164469
hey, hey you there. buddy you.
shut your fucking butthole.
your the 500th person to say that.

>>5164477
Do you really think you know the law as it concerns their TOS/AUP better than the corporate lawyers at AT&T? Seriously, this is fucking stupid.

It's NOT a dns problem.

so now you finally realize the issue isn't denying companies the ability to censor, but the issue is ensuring you may have choice in service provider..

>>5164461

The majority of states don't have fios in them.

For those with the "Fuck you, got mine" attitude, I can't wait to laugh at you in turn when your ISPs see they can get away with filtering as well.

>>5164488
That is one ass-backward country.

you're not missing anything

>>5164501
Or a big one.

>>5164482
we don't have a free market though. unless net neutrality passed without me noticing, they legally cannot do this.

>>5164280
I'm not sure what property rights we're talking about here. AT&T owns some lines. They have a property right to block anyone they want from using those lines.

There may be some other law saying the opposite, but that would not be called a property law, it would be called a COMMON CARRIER law.

>>5164482
"FREEDOM" and "FREE MARKET" doesn't mean letting people get away with that ever the fuck they want when ever they want. Everyone has rights and responsibilities. Like everyone has the right to free speech but you'll still get arrested for yelling FIRE! in a crowded building. These morons who say "free market" means they can do anything are just trolls who want to see the system fail or are trying to make a profit by abusing the system.

tl;dr FREEDOM =/= FREE

>>5164516
Any net neutrality bill would be anti free market, hurrr.

>>5164458

>>5164528
yes, that would be what i said

This is what you faggots get for posting CP.

>5164306
Does this mean they lose common carrier status? Are they now liable for every piece of illegal content that is transmitted via their network?

>>5164491
Do you, nigger?

>>5164522
Property rights involve being able to control access to your property. Just because there is more legislation that covers similar things specifically for telecoms niggers doesn't mean it's not property rights with a different name.

>>5164524
... Freedom is the noun form of the adjective, free. Thus, the adjective, free, must describe the noun form, freedom.

You're an idiot. Freedom = Free. What's going on here is a LACK of freedom. Don't be one of those ill-informed sheeple that actually believe that there exists "freedom" in the United States. The U.S.A. is an extremely authoritarian state, and the only semblance of freedom that exists is there only to pacify the masses.

>>5164491
This is true. Corporate lawyers have never, ever lost a case, ever.

>>>/b/148742300

protip to people being smartasses about /b/ and /r9k/ getting blocked: what are you going to do when /g/ gets flooded with CP and zip is blocked?

what will you do, move to /gif/ too?

>>5164563
Oh right, because they've lost a few rare cases I guess that means I should be hiring you instead of them.

How much do you charge, internet law expert?

Blocked here in Kansas City, thank god I have my Sprint EV-DO card. /b/ lives on!

>>5164516
>they legally cannot do this.

says who? show me exactly where in any law or statute it says that AT&T is forbidden from modifying their service, not to mention doing whatever you agreed to on the contract for that service.

You know why you can't? becuase legality and morality are not the same thing, faggot.

Is there a place where I can find a map of where fiber is available in the US? Or just a big map of where major providers operate and what speeds they offer?

>>5164522
that property right is only for allowing or disallowing access to the network by their customers or noncustomers. It doesn't extend to how their customers use their network, other than "if you do ____ we will kick you off".

The government in the US basically granted AT&T monopolies over large chunks of the country.

And since there is no market, more regulation is required to prevent abuse, and this includes stopping government sanctioned monopolies from restricting public forums.

>>5164602
wrong faggot, by default i have the right to whatever unless there is a law that specifically states i don't. we don't have laws to grant us freedoms, we have freedom which is limited by the law.

>>5164651
that has nothing to do with what i said.

nice straw man though, you'll fool people with that.

>>5164654

Does that mean AT&T is obligated to block youtube because of people that upload restricted content?

Can I get out of my At&t contract because of this?

pic related?

>>5164654
It's not clearly used for illegal purposes. Illegal content is against 4chan's rules.
If I were to upload CP to youtube, should AT&T block youtube? If I emailed CP to someone, should AT&T block gmail?

I couldn't give two shits about /b/, but I need my fix of /r9k/ every now and then.

Okay. I finally got an answer. I talked to their Tier two and he escalated it and after much holding, he has a definitive answer.
AT&T has blackholed the IP addresses involved. Supposedly they've notified the related parties (A company called Net Asset whom he tells me i could reach at (559) 650 8111 if i felt the need). He wasn't able to find out definitively why they blackholed img.4chan.org but said it's most likely due to content.

lol cut there lines physically all over the place make sure to spray paint ebaums did it on the pole

First they came for the pedophiles, and I did not speak out, because I was not a pedophile.
Then, they came for the pirates, and I did not speak out because I was not a pirate.
Then they came for anonymous, and I did not speak out because I was not anonymous.
Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me.

What's the post limit? I thought it was just over 300…

cant get to /b/

This is an FCC violation.
But ATT will get away with it, because they're in bed with the NSA, providing them a hookup to their tier-1 backbones.

Why they are blocking /b/-/r9k/??

step 1 get wired interested
step 2 wired finds out who is responsible
step 3 lulz

First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the pedophiles and I did not speak out because I was not a pedophile. Then they came for the /b/tards and I did not speak out because I wasn't a /b/tard. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.
