Verizon Blocks 4chan

An anonymous reader writes: According to 4chan's owner and administrator "moot," Verizon has "explicitly blocked" all traffic on their network from boards.4chan.org, where all of 4chan's boards are located. moot explains that only traffic to and from port 80 (HTTP) is being dropped, stating, "No other subdomain/IP/port is affected, which leads us to believe this block is intentional." If this is true, then this block would differ from AT&T's earlier block of 4chan in July 2009 because of a DDoS attack on that site. 4chan's downtime for Verizon users has been in effect for at least 72 hours since Saturday, February 7.
