Terminating Service for 8Chan
This post repeatedly refers to 8chan as &quot;lawless&quot; and &quot;unmoderated&quot; but it is neither. As a whole, it is a public website subject to US law, complete with DMCA and search warrant contact forms. The sitewide rule is that all content must comply with US law.<p>The media also keeps saying 8chan, 8chan, 8chan over and over, when it is really just the one most popular board (&quot;pol&quot;) that is being discussed. But there are hundreds of boards on the site for different topics, which are moderated separately and according to their own rules.<p>It seems like most of the outrageous incitement to violence people have posted on 8chan would be illegal under Brandenburg v. Ohio (speech is illegal if it will lead to imminent lawless action), given the mostly-valid assumption there will be readers of the post who are both radicalized and armed. This seems like the way to take down most of the violent content on 8chan if anyone would think about it for more than 5 seconds.<p>This seems like a knee-jerk reaction to moral panic and bad PR, not a solution to anything. Cloudflare would have been in a better position to actually <i>change</i> 8chan if they had kept them on and pressured them.
