It's time to end 4Chan.

With today's news that they may have meddled in Germany's election, they crossed the line from being a mere message board into being an enemy of the state with clear hostile intentions. I am positive they were behind the DU hack. And who knows what else they were involved in? If we can get the Daily Stormer kicked off their service, we can do the same for 4chan. It's time to put these trolls back into the dark web from which they came.

1. When was DU hacked?

I've been on 4chan have never seen DU ever mentioned there.

2. Election Day 2016 and the site was down for over one week.

There was another hack a few months ago (I believe in May), but the site was back up within a few hours.

3. And I remember hearing about a group called Legions Of Pepe taking credit for it.

I'm almost positive you could link Legions Of Pepe to 4Chan and nail these bastards.

4. "Almost positive"

"Hang 'em, judge, we're almost positive he dunnit!"

[ansible]

5. Always thought DU got intentionally closed that day because people were going on meltdowns

[Beartracks]

6. So you didn't try to log in during the outage?

That day, or all week thereafter?

7. It was an epic act of vandalism that almost killed us. Skilled and vicious.

To answer your next question, the Administrators reported it to the authorities. They are not broadcasting whatever progress there may be.

8. How do you know it was 4chan specifically?

9. I am as anxious to attack 4chan as I am to -uck a hornets nest raw

[Kentonio]

10. Nicely put.

11. Buzz buzz buzz?

12. In what way did 4chan, as an organisation, meddle?

Interfering with electoral lists? Hacking private information and sending it to a party? Be specific, please. Remember that just expressing a preference for a party, and trying to persuade people to vote for them, is fine for a private organisation. Just like someone can post on DU "please vote for Labour in New Zealand".
