Via amireal and sf_drama:

AT&T Reportedly Blocking 4chan at techcrunch (and links to other places).

Reportedly. I'm just going to say if this is true...well. Wow. This will end in tragedy and a lot of terrifying macros. Anyone using AT&T able to confirm? Before the looting starts in the internetz streets and we are all surfing at 56K speeds due to mass rebellion?

More at Encyclopedia Dramatica and I don't need to say NSFW.

....seriously. Who thought this was a good idea?

ETA: /b/ is the board being most affected. This may not pply to all of the chans.

ETA 2:See ED article for updated info on AT&T's statement and the lowering of the block (probably).

Wow. I thought it was going to be hard to beat the stupidity of AmazonFail, but congratulations, AT&T, y'all just beat them hands down.

Seriously? They're going to try and take on the guys who weren't afraid to go head to head with the Scientology whackjobs? Really?

No, this was not a cunning plan. Or like, y'know, sane.
