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

I'm all about liberal freedom, but blocking 4chan would actually help society given how abused it is by counter-intelligence. There is bullshit spewed there constantly and no one should be subject to that trash in a functioning society.

I don't think you know what counter intelligence means. That'd just be a regular intelligence or government PR operation.

I don't use 4chan but that stuffs pretty easy to spot on Tiktok and reddit if you're paying attention. Conspiracy type stuff is rampant on those sites. Especially around elections or conflicts like wars.

Content moderation or censorship can be an equally dangerous vector for government influence campaigns as well.

I don't think you have a point, sorry. My post was correct. That forum is abused to create counter-factual q-anon type shit.

Q anon was started by Chan's admin, some random guy living in South East Asia, and was embarrassingly amateur

You can be upset about the sort of content on 4chan. Most of the planet would agree. You don't need to frame it as something sophisticated because you don't like it and want it censored.

You're thinking of Jim Watkins who provided the hosting for 8chan, not 4chan. Two completely different image boards.
