Attack On The Chans? Rangebans, Hit Pieces And DDoS Attacks

Earlier this week, we were the only news source to report on the apparent "rangeban" of Comcast users from posting at 4chan's /pol/ board. The story must have seemed inconsequential to any mainstream or independent news sources because, though there are multiple threads that have appeared from 4chan and 8chan in the past days about the ongoing situation, The Goldwater has so far offered the only press related to the story.

Just about 48 hours after the /pol/ rangeban began the Washington Post (Jeff Bezos' news outlet that is sponsored by the CIA to the tune of over half a billion dollars) ran a smear piece on the "lies that thrive on raucous online platforms increasingly shape public understanding of major events" centering around the "danger" of such sites as 4chan and 8chan. It was less than a day, around 15 to 16 hours in fact, from that article going live that the (at this moment ongoing) DDoS of 8chan began. I say now ongoing, though, since we post our articles through 8chan, if/when you read this it will mean that we made it back online.
