Verizon Blocks 4Chan: Revenge is Likely Imminent

Verizon has blocked 4chan. Yeah. According to 4chan founder Moot's blog, a conversation with Verizon tech support confirmed that 4chan was "explicitly blocked".

Oh, my goodness, what a stupid thing to do. I can only imagine the number of customer support calls flooding Verizon... and then the crank calls once 4chan's frothing masses find out about this.

Why would Verizon block 4chan? No word from Verizon, but they had best start working on both an explanation and an apology, because pissing off 4chan is a dangerous game. Besides, if Verizon is indeed blocking 4chan due to its sometimes-"objectionable" content, that's a violation of FCC rules.

could you, please, when travel has programs that are of interest put them on during prime time instead of those obscene shows of people stuffing food in their mouths while other people are starving to death around the world. the wild china series was totally fascinating and i sat for three hours watching it but i found it by accident when i was flipping through to get to nat geo.
