AT&T blocks /b/

« on: July 27, 2009, 03:11:51 PM »

Firing one of the first shots in the net neutrality war, AT&T has blocked 4chan’s /b/ image board. AT&T subscribers are unable to connect to /b/ and /r9k/ (both of which are hosted on img.4chan.org). However, subscribers can get on any of the so-called «worksafe» boards that 4chan.org offers.

The problem seems to be present only for wired connections only (AT&T Mobility customers are not affected). The problem is not caused by an DNS-error, as traceroutes indicates that AT&T is dropping img.4chan.org requests in the AT&T network.

What can I say but: lol, this will be interesting...

I thought the North Korean thread talked about the fast food place? Oh, I get it. Yeah, lets see how the Americans take to censorship.
