Apparently AT&T has started blocking 4chan

4chan is unprofitable/barely profitable (depends on the month). The only way they can legally defend themselves is through the generosity of a third-party (EFF).

Or just hack AT&T into oblivion.

when people say 4chan, they don't mean 4chan the company, they mean the thousands of people with skills to make your life a living hell.

Indeed. They usually mean ... * cue dramatic music * ... Anonymous.

Though I'm not sure if I would go so far as to say "the thousands of people with skills to make your life a living hell", I would probably have said "the thousands of people with the time to make your life a living hell". I don't think many of them are that skilled.

Also, because of their antics, they have the ability to generate a large amount of press. This is probably more important than any actual damage they could do.

How would someone, for example make MJ's dad's life a living hell via 4chan?

"Or just hack AT&T into oblivion."

I'm sure that it has already begun. ;)
