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

If they do it, I never want to hear any criticism of the great firewall of China from them ever again.

I read on twitter, can't find the exact link, a chinese content site operating in .sg for many years, survived multiple "internet purges" by China, got banned by UK authorities last month.

I remember reading posts a decade or two ago on either Linode's forums or some other place like LinuxQuestions in broken English about tunneling through firewalls with ssh from I assume Chinese people.

I've started seeing posts like that from British people now. Absolutely wild. So much for the birthplace of common law.
