4Chan? This seems to be like... a decade too late, at best.
- Yeah, today's 4chan is very tame and mainstream compared to a decade ago
New investigations
We have today opened formal investigations into online discussion board 4chan and seven file-sharing services – Imge, Krakenfiles, Nippybox, Nippydrive, Nippyshare, Nippyspace and Yolobit – having not received responses to our statutory information requests, to which services are legally required to respond.
We have received complaints about the potential for illegal content and activity on 4chan, and possible sharing of child sexual abuse material on the file-sharing services.
