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.

It's a good time to get an RSS reader and build some direct connections to your sources. They're coming for the "aggregators" next.

rss is dead. and aggregating won't be your main issue anyway.

RSS is alive and well. I use it daily with dozens of sites and authors. It's incredibly useful, widely used, and well supported.

Finding content is the issue. Unless I go directly to each site every day and scan for new articles I'm likely to miss them. If not for aggregators and RSS how else would this be accomplished?

That's a stretch.
