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).
