Yes, and then they banned 8Chan just the same (I think? One of those sites where a shooter talked to his friends) as soon as they were under pressure.

- debacle 6y agoLikely the reddit model. Don't ban anything until it hits you in the pocket book.
- LordDragonfang 6y agoIf I'm not mistaken, 8Chan also hosted a lot of illegal content in addition to that "legal speech".
- yjftsjthsd-h 6y agoAnd yet, it was not for anything illegal that they were taken down.
- kbenson 6y agoI don't know if it's how it played out, but it's easy to see how increased scrutiny could have lead to the illegal content being highlighted and them getting dropped because it was then reported (possibly many times by many parties that wanted the site shut down for other reasons). In that case, they still would have been taken down because of the illegal content, even if at an (extremely simplistic) surface level the timing seems to indicate otherwise.
