Question for board owner regarding automated filter,
I noticed it started flagging epstein related screenshots as illegal /spam ( see picrel )
Is this filter selfmade or goverment issued and mandated. because it appears that this is not the only chan affected.
And reminds me of the censorship campaign on normie media during Covid.
I am asking because if this is a global rollout , this is a major cause of concern for anons.
Thanks for looking into it.
Goverments using the CP scare to implement filters that they would then use to block political dissent is exactly what privacy watchgroups have been warning about would happen.
But for European posters it's even worse, Under the European DSA act, anyone flagged/reported by such filter is registered as suspect and automatically entitles the police and feds to hack into their computers.
You will notice an instant decline in Epstein threads on all chans, because where the filter here blocks with just a warning, Filters on other chans dish out instant perma bans, and their jannies don't give a damn.
Coincidentally this all started at the exact same time when "Influencers" started telling us to "forget about epstein files"
>There is an 8kun auto function that will indeed block images previously flagged as illegal but this auto flagging function should apply only to CP, etc.
So who's been flagging epstein related images so they would be added to the auto function? Can this only be done by BO, admins,jannies, etc. or can the images simply added by some "random visitor" smashing the "report" button.
In case of option you one .. you have a rat. In case of option 2, the chans are vulnerable to deep state agents censoring the internet.
For example people like Klaus Schwab was boasting that the WEF had deployed a 100.000 agents for this exact purpose.
We obviously need to work on a defense against this particular attack vector.
Wait .. why did 2 those images get 404'd ?
In case anyone wonders what they were about, It was about the WEF boasting they deployed over 100.000 "information warriors" to censor the internet.
i've re-added them to this post
You're right, i erroneously uploaded one different image.
The correct one was picrel.
Working from memory on an old brain does not come without an occasional fail.
Thanks for the update. Information war is a constant struggle.
BO, got any updates on the filter issue ?
If you want to know what lays ahead, you only have to take a look at the /pol/ section of your predecessor IV chan, It got hit really hard.
I guess they perma banned so much anons with this filter trap that the place is now just bots and some lefties. the whole place seems to have gone woke.
Not a single thread about epstein or pizzagate and if epstein does happen to be mentioned it's in an attempt to associate musk and trump with him. Basically all threads and replies are dumbed down, poor quality photoshops used as bait don't even get noticed anymore. replies consist of superficial oneliners attempting to mimick chan lingo.
I would call this "The Great Filter War".
VPN and proxy use is banned. Fingerprinting is used but can be circumvented.
So i guess what is left is switching ISP's to obtain a fresh new IP adress.
The upside is that those veteran anons are now swarming out to other platforms.
They really kicked the hornets nest
