They couldn’t even take it beyond a day, AT&T pulls back its feet from the ban it had earlier put on 4Chan. Apparently AT&T was following its policy that appears quite strange. AT&T has requested the team behind 4Chan to introduce changes which they didn’t and as a result they had to get along with a block. 4Chan in the meanwhile is under a DDoS attack which was bound to happen.

It’s just the matter of putting the message out in stern firm words otherwise AT&T appears to be at war with the much famed imageboard, 4chan. It founder has clearly stated that AT&T has blocked access to the site for many of its users. 4chan has had its bit of controversies at how it operates but the site has given a platform for many a things to take off having its own brand of influence on the Web, minus the wild portions of its site that are quite close to the extremes of NSFW. I am quite astonished with AT&T’s decision to do so, why to pick this one out when there are others that need such treatment.
