This imageboard has everything! Unabashed racism, inceldom, violent misogyny — and the Fox News host implied it’s the last bastion of free speech online
Tucker Carlson speaks during the Mathias Corvinus Collegium Feszt on August 7, 2021 in Esztergom, Hungary.
Days after a 4chan user claimed to have hacked Hunter Biden’s iCloud backup account, Tucker Carlson took to the airwaves Monday evening to bestow subtle praise upon the notorious online forum — which has long been a breeding ground for hate speech and has inspired (and lavished praised upon) several mass shootings.
Bemoaning the tech companies who, in previous years, have removed contents of Hunter Biden’s 2020 laptop leak from the internet, Carlson informed his users that the newest leak spread quickly on 4chan, calling the anonymous forum “some sort of website that’s basically not very moderated, and it’s kinda the website of last resort for people who want to get information out there but can’t, because everything is so completely censored at this point.” (4chan moderators did eventually delete the Biden iCloud leak data — but not before it was archived and disseminated on torrent sites.)
While the Fox News host only briefly touched upon 4chan’s existence, labeling it as a “website of last resort for people who want to get information out there but can’t” is exactly the sort of right-wing dogwhistle intended to funnel the network’s viewers into 4chan’s murky depths. With a namedrop of this magnitude, it’s only a matter of time before your Boomer-aged aunt who still shares anti-Hillary Clinton memes on Facebook wanders into the shitposting cesspool that is /pol/, 4chan’s political forum.
And exactly what kind of information flourishes on 4chan? On /pol/, users are regularly known to spread baseless, hate-fueled misinformation — like the recent deliberate misidentification of the Uvalde shooter as a transgender woman. It’s also where conspiracy theories like Pizzagate and QAnon flourished . The self-described “politically incorrect” subforum is also a hotbed of white supremacist activity and hate speech, which purportedly radicalized the gunman behind the racially motivated May 2022 mass shooting at a Buffalo, New York supermarket. Sexism and incel-driven ideology also flourish on the site. 4chan’s /b/ subforum, intended to host “random” images, is regularly flooded with images of pornography and gore — and, until the content was banned by 4chan moderators, child pornography was regularly disseminated across the site.
Carlson’s 4chan quip aired during a segment about (you guessed it) President Joe Biden’s tenuous connections to Hunter Biden’s laptop and the contents therein. The younger Biden’s laptop has developed into a certain conservative firebrand in recent years — a “but her emails!” for the post-2016 election era. Incensed by the Biden administration’s apparent support of the Chinese government — he cites the federal government declining to pursue the ban on Chinese-owned social media apps Donald Trump proposed in late 2020 and a climate pledge the U.S. and China signed late last year — Carlson seized upon the latest Hunter Biden leak to push viewers to seek out the new data.
“Whatever helps the Chinese government, Joe Biden has dutifully done,” Carlson said. “How did the Chinese government wind up with so much control over the united States president, over Joe Biden’s behavior? We’ve been mulling that for more than a year — and that’s why since, October of 2020, we’ve been on the Hunter Biden laptop story, because that seems like the key to this question.” (Carlson notes the only other media outlet to doggedly pursue the Hunter Biden laptop story is the U.K. tabloid The Daily Mail , an outlet definitely noted for its dogged pursuit of journalistic integrity and not for its long history of just blatantly making shit up. Carlson, it seems, is in good company.)
Ever the consummate journalist, however, Carlson told viewers he would not reveal the supposedly incriminating contents of this latest leak. “Now, it is real? We have no reason to believe any of these data are fabricated. We have not independently verified them. We’re not putting some of this stuff on the air — it’s salacious,” Carlson noted, suddenly revealing he’s developed a conscience . “But, it’s pretty obvious that the materials that we’ve looked at are real.”
This wouldn’t be the first time Carlson used his platform to subtly promote agents of hate speech and push bogus ideologies in the name of “patriotism” — in fact, far from it. He’s been known to push the so-called “great replacement theory” and doubled down on his connections to the racist conspiracy theory on-air shortly after the Buffalo shooting . His documentary Patriot Purge called the Jan. 6 Capitol riot a “false flag” operation and was co-written by an individual with ties to Pizzagate . Carlson is also a favorite figure of Russian state television , and he’s been caught on tape defending child rape .

I removed this because it's significance is highly dubious. Posting phony death hoaxes on /b/ is an ongoing thing, and has probably been done for any number of high profile celebrities. The ones that actually take off, though, like Kanye and Jeff Goldblum, don't gain any more steam from /b/ as they do somewhere else. The Kanye hoax wasn't just on 4chan, but it was commented on heavilly there (leading some to believe that "Oh, it's 4chan, they must have started it.") It's usually the product of a group of people that simultaniously work together to spread the info, citing each other as proof, where the hivemind takes over from there.
If the death hoaxes were huge enough to actually be reported by today's ridiculous media without fact-checking (as they often do not do), then that would be worth adding to the celebrity-in-question's page, rather than trying to pin it to a specific source (which is 100% uncitable).

After some googling I've found many respectable sources that provide a point of view about 4chan as a website that permits racist commentary and hate speech , but instead, not enough reference to this topic is found in the curent revision of the article, there are many sources out there confirming this, besides KTTV's report. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.230.211.251 ( talk ) 16:09, 1 November 2009 (UTC) [ reply ]
Going to have to agree with the anon editor on this one. There have been attempts to sensationalize racist material on 4chan, notably Fox News but these attempts are just that, attempts to sensationalize a non-issue. Voiceofreason01 ( talk ) 19:25, 13 November 2009 (UTC) [ reply ]
Well, considering that the IQ of the average 4chan poster is well below 70 I think they do indeed mean it and actually find it funny.

Why is the line about Moot being a former member of "SomethingAwful.com" included in the article? The fact is trivia, at best, and trivia is to be avoided. I'm sure it was added by someone trying to promote the site, and it should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.163.22.236 ( talk ) 08:52, 9 November 2009 (UTC) [ reply ]
Seems odd that this is missing. I've been searching for the answer but have yet to yield anything. Is there any information on the cause of death? Krushia ( talk ) 22:33, 14 November 2009 (UTC) [ reply ]
I can confirm he threw himself in front of a train in Frankston.

On November 24, 2009 at 13:46 Estonian time, a 18-year old Estonian boy posted a threat on 4chan to carry on a school shooting in the Commercial High-School of Tartu ( et:Tartu Kommertsgümnaasium ), a high school in Tartu , Estonia . The boy was arrested on the following day. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]
On November 25 Tartu Kommertsgümnaasium was closed to students as a safety precaution because the boy who posted the threat was not yet caught. On the same day two other high-schools in Tartu received bomb threats [10] [11] . —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.190.29.65 ( talk ) 19:23, 25 November 2009 (UTC) [ reply ]
Can anyone find a reliable source that correctly attributes chanology as starting at 711chan and migrating to 4chan, rather than the other way around as the article currently implies? I haven't had much luck with google. Throwaway85 ( talk ) 06:25, 3 December 2009 (UTC) [ reply ]
I'm not trolling but there's only two mentions of Pedobear on WP and no proper explanation. It might be a popular meme but it passed me by. -- Alastair Rae ( talk ) 16:41, 7 December 2009 (UTC) [ reply ]
The Alianon Presently Known as Coal: Your instant deletion will be your decidance of unworth of the following. Just because you do not understand worddensity (like memedensity, but theoretically useful), does not mean other people (Australians mostly) do not
Yeah, he's there. He was invented by 2chan, and transmigrated via copypasta to 4chan, from one name or another, to pedobear, with possibly some stops in between. He was on occasion, durring a unspoken movement, disguised as running bear, but that fizzled out as the simple fact the /b/ quality has a half-life of seven months (as well as a usage doublelife of i think 1 1/2 to 3 years).
That is roughly it. of course, i have this info in 40 megapixels, but... it may not be 'viral' (and death to the one who coined), but quite virulent.

here . I'm surprised nobody had added anything from this yet, seeing as it came out a couple months ago, and because it has a lot about 4chan and project chanology. estemshorn ( talk | contrib ) 23:10, 15 December 2009 (UTC) [ reply ]
There is a thread on /b/ about moot right now which has an image where users supposedly discovered his real life identity to be Richard Goins. There are a couple whois reports, but I'm not very familiar with how that works. I can provide the image if needed. It might be worth looking into. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Darktangent ( talk • contribs ) 08:23, 31 December 2009 (UTC) [ reply ]
I think there is some sort of error in the article; some one has changed the rickroll-section to duckroll, which, you know, is kind of funny, but not really true. Can any moderators fix this? 87.54.33.250 ( talk ) 09:50, 13 January 2010 (UTC) [ reply ]
No, the duckroll was first. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.242.160.8 ( talk ) 00:17, 26 March 2010 (UTC) [ reply ]
This page needs serious editing lots of things that can be added like new raids and new memes and perhaps what is done to those posting illegal content? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anonymous21211 ( talk • contribs ) 00:39, 15 January 2010 (UTC) [ reply ]
If any other website had half the content 4chan has they'd be raided. 70.57.26.44 ( talk ) 06:37, 24 January 2010 (UTC) [ reply ]

Protecting Our Customers and Our Network
Jim Gerace posted in PolicyBlog Wireless on February 08, 2010, 03:50 PM EST
The most important thing we offer? Our network. When our network is attacked, or at risk of attack in a way that could harm our customers' ability to make and receive calls, or use wireless multimedia and data services, we jump to action.
Recently, Verizon Wireless security and external experts detected attacks from an IP address associated with the 4Chan family of web sites that was disruptive to our customers and our network. To protect both, we eliminated connectivity to the IP address. At no time was 4Chan itself blocked. Ongoing network security team monitoring has now determined there is no longer an immediate threat. Connectivity to those sites is being restored later today.
Typically, these attacks involve someone sending hundreds of thousands of messages to wireless devices to round up active customer addresses for follow-up activity including hacker attacks. These “sweeps” can jam our network and deliver unwanted electronic messages that also can drain customer devices’ battery life and slow their operation.
We take being the nation's most reliable wireless network seriously. Seriously enough to protect our customers and our network from malicious attacks, even if we get dinged in the blogosphere. It's easy to complain about "blocking" when your wireless data connection is stable, fast and reliable. But try connecting to the web from your Droid or Blackberry when attacks slow - and potentially block - use of our network all together.
We monitor against attacks and potential attacks to ensure the integrity of the Verizon Wireless network. Our customers expect nothing less.

4Chan is apparently either a victim or supporter of Operation Titstorm because their homepage is covered in pornographic images.(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_%28group%29#Operation_Titstor and http://www.4chan.org/ ). I believe this should be archived in the 4Chan page however editing for that page has been blocked. If there is anyone who can edit that page I ask that they do so.

Yes, the whois is correct, but for a short amount of time the domain was 4chan.net (which now redirects to .org). 121.216.207.209 ( talk ) 07:41, 2 May 2010 (UTC) [ reply ]
