    Yesterday, AT&T apparently decided to block the notorious website 4chan.org (site very much NSFW). Reports indicate the situation has resolved itself, but the story is still worth telling.

    According to CentralGadget, AT&T has confirmed that they are “currently blocking portions of the internet site 4chan.org”, but states that they are “following the practices of their policy department.” (They refused to reveal the specific reason for the block.) AT&T also claimed to have attempted to contact the site owner, but according to the 4chan status page, site owner Moot had no contact with AT&T.
