I'm all about liberal freedom, but blocking 4chan would actually help society given how abused it is by counter-intelligence. There is bullshit spewed there constantly and no one should be subject to that trash in a functioning society.

- dmix 1y agoI don't think you know what counter intelligence means. That'd just be a regular intelligence or government PR operation. I don't use 4chan but that stuffs pretty easy to spot on Tiktok and reddit if you're paying attention. Conspiracy type stuff is rampant on those sites. Especially around elections or conflicts like wars. Content moderation or censorship can be an equally dangerous vector for government influence campaigns as well.
- smolder 1y agoI don't think you have a point, sorry. My post was correct. That forum is abused to create counter-factual q-anon type shit.
- dmix 1y agoQ anon was started by Chan's admin, some random guy living in South East Asia, and was embarrassingly amateur You can be upset about the sort of content on 4chan. Most of the planet would agree. You don't need to frame it as something sophisticated because you don't like it and want it censored.
- smolder 1y agoI don't think censorship is a good thing unless it's censoring concerted efforts to spread false information which reshape the political landscape. You are underselling the bullshit that you say "8chan admins" were responsible for. It's inexcusable. I'm not upset about the content aside from it being a clear devious effort to spread lies and shift public opinion. Stop framing it as something different. No one with a brain is buying it, and yes, we are pissed.
- EarlKing 1y agoThe funny thing about "false information" being "spread" by "8chan admins" (or 4chan for that matter) is.... you can avoid it by simply not going there. Stop going there if you don't like it.
