Has a line finally been crossed and anonymity begetting mass violence can no longer be tolerated?

Do you think there are people here who are restraining themselves from making edgy, congratulatory statements on GameFAQs?

The media keeps namedropping them as being the place to inspire horrible real-world atrocities against middle-class Americans.

What happened that you think will get it shut down? And wasn't 4chan a place to go and look at/trade child porn for like years? If that didn't get the place shut down then I doubt anything else will.

I'm assuming the shooter today was a known 4chan user.. not for certain though.

I havent seen any mention about 4chan in regards to himx
The liberal news stations my father insists on watching keep blaming anonymous rage-posting as the inspiration for lashing out and taking a gun to a public place.

This topic isn't for your personal salt about 4chan.

Well I have no idea then, considering what happened today, I thought something along those lines was revealed and this thread was the result of that.

I don't know what action TC is referring to then.

Been around for ages. Some of the lesser known chans can be pretty interesting, assuming that they aren't loaded with racists and pedophiles.

It became a major chan when moot barred all discussion of GamerGate from 4chan, and Hotwheels offered his site to the crowd as an alternative.

Philosophically speaking, it advocates all free speech so long as it doesn't violate the law, but the structure of the site provides for self-moderation by individual boards (similar to Reddit), so global moderation doesn't really have to weigh in much.

Consequently, it's become home to a lot of self-selecting echo chambers with discussion that walks the line from a legal standpoint. Its second largest board is its own /pol/, where the worst of 4chan have fled over the years, seemingly considering the original imageboard poorly moderated in some regards, over-moderated in other regards, and insufficiently reactionary overall.

The self-selection, then, has created a deranged culture that makes 4chan's /pol/ look like voices of reason by comparison, and where it seems its most deranged are now inspired to go out and commit acts of mass murder.
