AND VARIOUS OTHER ISPS APPARENTLY This is from the status page of FourChan. "Sunday, July 26, 2009 It's come to our attention that AT&T is filtering/blocking FourChan (/b/ & /r9k/) for many of their customers. There is no remedy at this time. If you've been affected, I would advise you call or write customer support and corporate immediately. UPDATE: Some coverage on TechCrunch, Digg, reddit, and Google News. Also, note that AT&T has yet to contact us." AT&T should NOT have the authority to block access to websites without giving control of that to the customer. I can't even load up the site anymore! Any other AT&T users able to access it? EDIT: Another update from status blog. "Monday, July 27, 2009 Cogent Communications has joined the club�they're now blocking all of Fourchan. I can't even access the site at this point. We're working on it..." And to reinforce that what they are trying to do is indeed illegal... "Under the FCC�s Comcast/BitTorrent ruling, Internet Service Providers may only slow or cap connection speeds. They are not allowed to block any service or protocol on the internet."
