    4chan is the anonymous Internet forum known for its pranks, its hacking, and the Rickroll. While its content and discussion is not suitable for children, it is a popular and important piece of web culture.

    AT&T doesn’t seem to like 4chan, though. According to the Los Angeles Metblogs, AT&T DSL users are unable to access anything on the img.4chan.org subdomain if they live in Southern California. If true, this essentially blocks 4chan’s most popular and controversial forum, /b/. It looks like a censorship battle is brewing, especially since 4chan users are aware of the apparent block by AT&T.
