One of 8chan's service providers is reportedly banning the site from its network; the news comes after its founder called for the site to be shut down in the wake of multiple mass shootings linked to 8chan

Brennan founded 8chan as a response to 4chan, which he felt had become too restrictive, as a place that supported free speech of any kind.

Hours later in Dayton, a gunman wearing body armor and carrying extra magazines opened fire in a popular nightlife area, killing nine and injuring at least 26 people.

El Paso Murder Spree Renews Spotlight on 8chan Online ForumThe suspect in the Walmart rampage in El Paso allegedly posted a hate-filled manifesto on 8chan, the same fringe online message board used this year by the suspect in the New Zealand mosque massacre. As a Kiwi I'd just like to show our support for y'all at this terrible time 🖤❤️ KiaKaha ,StayStrong ❤️🖤 Trump is doing so much winning. You elected a Nazi as president, did you really expect anything else? He is calling for attacks on immigrant, dark ones. Good luck, but you deserve every dead child you get. Cloudflare, you can fix this. Yet you refuse to. DO SOMETHING or your name will forever be associated with 8chan and everything that comes along with it.

El Paso gunman allegedly posted ‘wildly anti-immigrant' essay online'There is a body count associated with this website now.' oneunderscore__ explains the 'wildly anti-immigrant' document that was posted on an extremist forum before El Paso shooting; it is believed to have been posted by the attacker. oneunderscore__ My guess is he’s a trump supporter and it’s obvious that hate crimes are on the rise ever since realDonaldTrump validates violence against immigrants & people of color. Trumpnis making America Hate Again. This makes 249th mass shootings this year alone. So much for trump’s wall oneunderscore__ There is nothing stopping more of these attacks from these angry resentful online trolls. They're already gripped by a nihilistic mindset, they hate their own lives & they have easy access to weaponry. The nightmare is 10 of them coordinating to storm a public building for lolz. oneunderscore__ There is a 'body count' associated with many of these websites that encourage and promote white supremacist ideals! For years I have gone to law enforcement and the courts in regards to such a hate crime website that targets women & people of color.
