) and other tech companies to shun online message board 8chan on Monday, after it was used by a mass shooter to announce an attack for the third time this year.
8chan, which in its verified Twitter profile describes its location as “The Darkest Reaches of the Internet,” has become a hotbed for white extremist content. The site was previously used this year by the shooters who attacked two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand and a synagogue in Poway, California.
“Our services fill the ever-growing need for a neutral service provider that will not arbitrarily terminate accounts based on social or political pressure,” Epik CEO Rob Monster wrote in a statement.
And then streamed the shootings live. Oh. Wait. . .
How come no one is talking about how he slowly tilts to one side?
The shooter posted it to Instagram first and other people posted it to social media sites.
Why are people so hell bent on shutting down early warning systems for these attacks?
Social media has allowed hate gather and fester with link minded people worldwide. This is the cause of these killings... my view
get your facts correct, Reuters now woke?
Thank you for acknowledging the negative influence of 8chan. It's refreshing to know that this was not your intention and you tried to respond to the trend of usage you have seen. Is there a way you can use your knowledge to guide or advise others?
Perhaps if people read these manifestos there wouldn’t be all the crap being written about who’s fault it all is.
/comfy/
Technically he is brilliant in building the platform. The prioblem, which he alluded to, was the abuse of the platform that he couldn’t control is why he left.
Many people tried to tell him this would happen.
Now interview the founder of Instagram, the site where the shooters manifesto was actually posted. Neither of the shooters posted to 8chan. Stop the smear. infinitechan CodeMonkeyZ QAnonNotables
rezaaslan 's manifesto...
It really isn’t funny but the fact he slouches more and more as it goes on and you see less and less of his face is just too much
They aren’t manifestos, they are hate fueled whining. Stop trying to glorify their nonsense.
A strong man!
And that's a big part of the problem.....no one stops to think of the consequences of their actions.....
I do not know what to...
No he doesn’t, because if he really didn’t, he would have shit it down long ago. He regrets it now because he can’t take the heat.
I’m sure Dr. Frankenstein could commiserate.
A true winner's head !

Whoa. I'm speechless.
The human brain really is amazing .this creature created the online messaging website thinking about all of the benefit his invention would make. But some twisted people use it for bad behavior
He damn sure took his time about it.
I don't get why the media is building up 8chan as this mythic beast. It's just one of the chan boards. There's literally dozens more that are carbon copies with the same users and same content. Anyone acting like 8chan being taken down accomplishes anything has no clue what's up.
He tips over as the interview progresses
Doesn't Facebook live stream violence before they 'take it down'?
Appalling journalism. It was 4chan not 8chan that the shooter posted to. Different organisation, ownership, servers etc. 4chan is still operating. 8chan is being blamed and targetted because it hosts “Q”
This 'We're just keeping them online so we can monitor them' stuff is bull shit. Newspapers didn't print every crank just to keep track before the internet. It's not up to ISPs to do la enforcement job. And we've seen how Nazis lose amplification when they get deplatformed.
the best thing ever. make those psychos invisible. great:]
Why not twitter, why not facebook. See no reasons other than that some may be shaking in their boots at what is about to be unleashed WWG1WGAWORLDWIDE
.realDonaldTrump .lindanix110 And who runs the tech companies? and who is being investigated to the 10th degree? Who has much to lose? The Left, The Left, did I say the Left?
Every single remedy other than taking assault weapons out of the market falls short of sufficient action. And that's where we should begin.
