So,
these two things both sorta happened. They're being a bit more black and white about them than I would, but you get the gist of it.
1)Refers to an adjustment of Patreon rules due to a particular anti bugging the guy in charge until he changed them. This was in an effort to get 8chan's Patreon pulled. There's no guarantee that the changed rules will result in other people being affected, but the changes are broad enough that it's not entirely improbable.
2)This one...yeah. Well, so, again, this was in regards to an effort to get 8chan shut down. Now, understand that I haven't gone to the blog in question, so I'm relying on secondhand knowledge of the pics in question. Anyway, an anti who lives in Canada went on 8chan searching for illegal pics. He found some that either hadn't been reported yet or weren't illegal in the US(but are illegal in Canada, this will become important in a sec). Instead of reporting the images to either site admins or the authorities, he
downloaded them and ran them through a blur filter and
put them up on his blog. Which, on its own, is kinda illegal(the downloading part, at least...I don't think the blurred images are technically illegal). Then a bunch of antis have been sharing the link to said blog, which I believe also links to the board in question. And defending him for downloading illegal images.
And that's pretty much it. Anyway, I started writing this before the clock rolled over and got distracted, but just like my birthday(which was on Monday), I'll refrain from posting anything new(unless it's mind-shattering or that guy gets arrested) on this topic during the 24th and 25th. Have a merry Christmas, ye godless heathens. Also, Joph.
