4chan is a shady place, but it is definitely not a bastion of child porn. The owners do not allow anything like that.

  /b/ has been an epicentre for decades.

    That is total horseshit. Yes, there are points in time when posters have attempted to post child pornography there, but it gets taken down swiftly and gets reported to moderators as swiftly as its posted. Your "epicentre" of child pornography on the Internet is Facebook, not 4chan.[1] [1]: https://samharris.org/subscriber-extras/213-worst-epidemic/ https://samharris.org/subscriber-extras/213-worst-epidemic/

      an epicentre, not the epicentre.

        Epicentre implies singular. Having multiple epicentres would defy the definition of a "centre".

          No, it doesn't.
          • gsich 6y ago
            Then you are using it wrong.

  I run a 4chan archive, fireden.net, I don't archive /b/ and my #1 reason I need to take down things is because of child porn, to the point that I honestly think about why i still run it anymore.

    I suspect you'd have a similar problem if you decided to run a twitter archive.

  GP was probably referring to some part of 8chan, not 4chan.
  • gsich 6y ago
    I don't think they allow that there either.
