> A toy maker linking themselves to a platform known for its links to the illegal (including child sexual material) is wild. Why is there no effort to shut that down? Does this say something about Japanese culture in that if a US company had similar links there'd be a public outcry? It's fundamentally the same problem that any website faces if it allows user uploaded content. If anything, 4chan was one of the first websites to develop robust procedures for rapidly removing illegal content, given how frequently they had to deal with it in the early-mid 2000s. By the late 2000s, it was pretty rare to see objectionable content before the mods removed it. 4chan's administrators also testified for the government in criminal cases, including the hack of Sarah Palin's emails: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Palin_email_hack https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Palin_email_hack If they had shut down the site entirely, there would have been a dozen spinoffs the next day hosted around the world, with owners who wouldn't play ball with the US government.
