Is 4chan the perfect Pirate Bay poster child to justify wider UK site-blocking?

Hard disagree. I would love for moderation to be opt-out, for example. I might not agree with moderator actions, so I would very much prefer to see an unfiltered HN instead of having someone else dictate what I am allowed to see or not. The same applies to other websites, especially Reddit.

Alas, I have no choice in the matter, but I would very much prefer I did.

While I understand some content HAS to be regulated (CSAM) doesn’t mean everything has to be, because inevitably that will devolve into the government policing wrongthink.

Unfortunately this doesn't let you reply to dead comments. Still better than hiding the wrongthink completely though.

i’ve browsed with showdead for over a decade and have vouched for exactly one comment. it’s usually just no-think.
