They are. Taking infrastructure away from gay people to buy coffee is exactly the same thing as taking infrastructure away from random people on the internet. The only circumstance in which either of these should be tolerated is when there is a direct threat to US national security (imminent terrorism) or a crime has been committed. Neither of these has happened.

There's very much a threat of terrorism. If 8chan was an ISIS forum with the same content as now I'm sure people would be singing a very different tune.

It's a good thing then, that it isn't an ISIS forum.

Further, your definition of terrorism eludes me. What gives you the impression that 8chan conducts, facilitates and organizes terror?
