I assume this article is designed to signal that the regime finds 4chan most distasteful, and would prefer for it not to be purchased, if you want to remain on their good side. Which makes total sense, since 4chan-derived memes have apparently broken into the mainstream against all odds, to the point where actual US presidential candidates (CNN's favored candidate, come to think of it) are declaring war on goddamn Pepe for excessively challenging their narrative control. The incredibly Darwinian environment is to memes what Chinese farms are for influenza, and we are beginning to see the real-world effects. In any event a few entities at varying levels of seriousness have inquired about the possibility of purchasing 4chan and received no response, so it's unclear what's actually going on.
