Is 4chan the perfect Pirate Bay poster child to justify wider UK site-blocking?

The free internet might be gone in the next decade. Probably time to buy a few hard drives and do some archiving. I don't just mean piracy. Articles, blogs, anything you find precious.

I think about the same. Right now we are at the normalizing the ID verification stage and banning specific content in certain countries/states, once we are desensitized, VPNs will come next, and then some government solution to track everything you do online.

They can go after hostings as well and everybody can take down a lot of things out of fear.
