4chan is largely 4chan because :
- it's reputation is attracting trolls
(BTW, does 4chan even have the minimum 50M monthly users to qualify ?)
- it has that anonymous (rather than pseudonymous) social convention
I see a lot of "the sky is falling" reactions here, but even if large websites were prevented from banning content, nothing forbids them from allowing users themselves hide the (pseudonym-linked) content that they deem undesirable, a feature that is already widespread.
(Also, large platforms are not the Internet, and not even the Web, and I would be happy to see them gone.)
