archive.fo/xwmVw >Infinitechan owner Jim Watkins provided evidence to congressional staffers on Thursday to comply with a subpoena the House Homeland Security Committee issued him after a series of racist manifestos from mass shooters were posted on the site. His site has remained down since shortly after the shooting — but new statements made to The Verge suggest it may be coming back sooner than many expected.
>According to Watkins’s lawyer, Benjamin Barr, Infinitechan’s owners hope to have the site back online in the next week or so. In his prepared remarks for the committee, Watkins said that InfiniteChan is currently “offline voluntarily” and that it may come back online soon, once the site “is able to develop additional tools to counter illegal content under United States law.”
>“This isn’t written in stone, but somewhere around a week, they hope to be back,” Barr said.
>Barr told The Verge that he believes the tools Watkins described are complete, but he could not comment on exactly what the tools are or how the relaunched InfiniteChan will counter illegal content on the platform. In his prepared remarks, Watkins did say that InfiniteChan could implement a “read-only” mode for when the site is in a state of emergency, like when a manifesto is posted, or created a separate “restricted mode” that would go into effect under the same circumstances that would make the site inaccesible over the Tor Network and prohibit users from posting any files.
>But Barr pushed back against reading too much into that idea. “I don’t think it is the restricted mode,” Barr told The Verge, “but it is with respect to being able to identify illegal content.”
>Watkins wrote in his statement for the committee that InfiniteChan already uses one bot to “remove illegal content and spam, automated or human, based only on keywords.”
>So far, it appears that InfiniteChan is still down because they are still threatened
>“They’ve already executed the security,” Barr told The Verge, but InfiniteChan is currently offline because the owners are “working on having a stable hosting solution where they can’t be deplatformed or it will be a lot more difficult to deplatform them.”
>InfiniteChan was initially taken offline in early August after the white nationalist El Paso, Texas shooting that left over 20 people dead. The suspected shooter posted a racist screed onto the site prior to carrying out the attack. Following the shooting, Cloudflare, the company that provided cybersecurity to InfiniteChan revoked its service and effectively forced the site offline. After securing another security service, InfiniteChan’s host Epik, also pulled service.
>According to Barr, Watkins may be asked to return to the committee in the future, and he hopes to have a publicized hearing. Thursday’s meeting happened behind closed doors with committee staffers, not lawmakers. It’s currently not clear when that next meeting might occur.
>“We want to thank Mr. Watkins for his cooperation today,” committee leaders said in a statement following the meeting Thursday. “He provided vast and helpful information to the Committee about the structure, operation, and policies of InfiniteChan and his other companies. We look forward to his continued cooperation with the Committee as he indicated his desire to do so during today’s deposition.”
Hurry! Stop shitting up my board with boomer garbage.

I've missed /christian/, other than that I couldn't care less. It's going to be more of a Honeypot than here now. Moderation will be absolutely retarded. Expect to get banned as fast as you would on resetera.
Justin Campbell
I wonder if mainstream media will post articles about its rerelease and draw a bunch of normal people to it. Good opportunity to share viewpoints most haven't heard well articulated.

Maybe pull your head and dick out of your ass (how you get them both in there?) before commenting....
Ryder Davis
I want all my /32/ and /fringe/ threads back online. This time I'm going to download all the shit.
Ian Jackson
Die in a hole, christcuk. When 8 is back up, you will be out, just like every other shill/kike/glownigger ect. There will be zero tolerance for outsiders this time.
If it wasn't compromised before, it definitely will be now. There's no reason to trust it
Colton Powell
Nah more like all those tarrant spamming kike shills won't be posting there because they'll get insta banned. Unlike this website where the mods are literally Mossad shills.
>Infinitechan more like nullochan fuck my life fuck this shit this world is hell honk honk*cough*
Aaron Hernandez
How the fuck is anyone supposed to trust that you aren't a glow in the dark trying to convince them to come back to your honeypot?
Charles Scott
You must hate all the resistance you kikes are getting lately. It's almost like everything you try and do to demoralize a population only makes them more resilient. Israel can't even contain the Palestinians.
>illegal content Besides CP, which has been an issue for years, what other illegal content is there? Shooter manifestos maybe distasteful, but pretty sure they're covered by the 1st amendment. Is this just gaslighting by the reporter?
Nolan Martinez
Please God be true! I want off the Jow Forums ride

>everything is gonna be better this time, even though there's absolutely no evidence to back this claim up >now that the owner has cucked and ran to DC with his tail between his legs to apologize to the government for allowing too much free speech, there won't be any shills or glowies allowed there anymore >trust me goys, um, guys.. it'll be great!
You made a claim. That the new double chan will be better and that shills, kikes and glowfags will be shut down. Now back that claim up with evidence that the guy who just went to Washington to privately apologize will do what you claim, or fuck off you faggot shill.
>That the new double chan will be better and that shills, kikes and glowfags will be shut down. You're funny. Shills are kikes and mossad agents. Every buzzword you try and throw in to mitigate the fact ALL YOU SHILLS ARE ZIONIST OPERATIVES is pathetic. Watkins didn't apologize for shit, I bet you didn't even read his statement.
11 days left until Israeli elections and the collapse of everything you love :)
Adam Evans
Post evidence to back your claim, faggot. If you can't then everyone will see you for the cucked glowfag you are. Fucking do it. Keep calling me a kike, I don't give a shit, nigger. Stop being a coward and do it. Or don't and prove me right. Little bitch.
Fuck off. I probably lost a few IQ points by staying here for weeks and having to see tons of slide threads, over 9000 shills and also tons of trannies.
Will all the boards and threads still be there though or are we going to have to start from scratch? I don't mind starting over desu, it would freshen up the site and might attract a lot of new traffic to it now that its been in the news a lot lately.
Landon Morales
The shill posts have been increasing dramatically. The mods don't do shit and last night there was a tranny fucking thread that was up forever, while an actual political thread we had good discussions on gets deleted.
Fuck this place. Even the Jow Forums humor gets shilled fucking hard with some leftists bullshit that's not even funny.
It was before. If Q resumes posting there, normalfags will be there, which means Jow Forumsacks will go back there to tell them about the Jew.
Christian Reyes
Not a kike, just saying I find it unlikely that after being taken down that they’re going to keep it up just like that without some major concessions, like great big government backdoors or making it easier to track users or some shit Granted stuff like that was likely in use before but I figure it’ll be worse now
Josiah Bell
They weren't taken down by the government. They were taken down by (((cloudflare))) dropping them. After they went down, they chose to stay down.
>They were taken down by (((cloudflare))) dropping them. >After they went down, they chose to stay down. I wonder if this was done intentionally to get rid of clownflare for the event that there are certain leaks of tons of pics + videos of certain rich people and they used the time now to prepare 8 for extra traffic and also added extra security.
Gavin Bell
The absolute shitshow this place turned into is intolerable. At a minimum, it needs to adopt infinity chan's filter system.

but all the newfags went to infinitechan after they threw a tantrum because moot wouldn't let them do gamergate shit on Jow Forums
Jordan Young
Das rait. No matter if its true or not (I belive its true) this is amazing. The idea, connecting regular people with good guys doing good job over fake news head in they way that they are unable to directly/personally attack the messenger is brilliant.
Oliver Torres
>InfiniteChan could be back online as soon as next week, lawyer says
electromagnetic thermal steering of a rotating storm system?
That would require some form of phased array, and probably multiples working in conjunction.
This implies a VERY large diesel generator powering the array, OR a nuclear power source.
One you can put in orbit, the other not so much.
Jaxson Morales
not that you'd need to put it in orbit... any ionospheric reflections would probably alter the schuuman resonance, and light up some of the low wavelength bands, globally.
so, the fingerprint is probably there.
Josiah Carter
that would be great. If something got better. That's rare now. I'm expecting it to be worse.
I hope they try their hardest to delete us. We already have completely decentralized alternatives. 0xchan.net/ blockchan.link/ We will eventually exist in a Chan without owners and we'll have a system where everyone can be a Janny but only have power over those that willingly subscribe to them. Taking down 8ch while leaving Jow Forums up is fantastic because it rapidly forced us to create completely viable uncensorable alternatives. And once we move to those platforms our enemies won't be able to infiltrate the moderation team and fuck us over like on Jow Forums and 8ch.
Every move that they make against us just makes us stronger in the long run. That's the real reason why Jow Forums is still around. The idea that this is more useful to the powers that be up than down is extremely retarded. Sure they can monitor us here and they do but we've radicalized millions of people against them. Without us there really is no real opposition. The only reason why we're still around is because we're an antifragile community and they want us to stay on a platform where they can effect limited censorship with their control over the jannies.
It's completely impossible to have any sort of discussion here, every single day everything is just drowned out in repeat threads designed to bait infighting, and it works every single fucking time. It goes beyond this board too, the entire site practically just exists for people to treat it as a no signup twitter, where anons will just shit out a tweet tier thread among thousands of others doing the same, effectively deterring any kind of thought ever being put into anything posted. Add a registration process and the site is indistinguishable from your average youtube comment section.

All that and endless captcha.
Nathaniel Williams
Where the fuck do you come from? Ethopian?

Also mods banning people who actually discuss things instead of letting bots shit the board up
This desu, even here in cali they recognize the evil jew. I honestly hope they shit it all down and finally force faggots to do something
Brandon Howard
>/32/ I just learned about this a week ago. The people who want 8ch shut down clearly don't know what it represents in terms of shared information and culture. We all know who stands to gain the most from it shutting down and sure as fuck isn't victims of bigotry.
It's never been this bad though even the election was less shit then this. Jow Forums calls each other schitzos all day long. 8 doesn't because they are so it's not funny to them.
Jaxon Thomas
Notice that they didn’t have the guts to ask him under oath who was is Q?
I heard the shooter wrote his manifesto on Microsoft Office.
Easton Davis
I have meaningful discussion on this website every day. if you aren't a part of it that says something about you, not the website.
Caleb Clark
Why do people think the only boards on 8ch are Jow Forums and Qshit? I used mainly hobbyist boards like /v/, /tech/, /co/, and Jow Forums. The blue boards on Jow Forums have really gone to shit the past few years, thanks in big part to the tranny mods (when did they start infiltrating Jow Forums boards?). Not like the tranny mods on Jow Forums are any better.
Evan Ramirez
kikes and allies as well as the naïve want the unregulated internet shut down so they can control all Modern Long Distance Speech...
yup, fuck this place, 8 can't come back soon enough
Landon Morgan
>(when did they start infiltrating Jow Forums boards?) They began infiltrating as far back as 2010, when the trap faggotry reached critical mass and began uncontrollably spilling over to all boards outside of /a/. With that came tumblr flooding in which got to the point where boards such as /soc/ and /lgbt/ had to eventually be made. It's been a slow but steady decline, and it shows on the sorry excuse of what passes for OC these days. If you think about it, you can track the decline in real time based on the degradation of OC.
If I had to guess I would say that this place has systematically been getting neutered since at least 2008 in various ways, the jannies are just another symptom of it.
Hunter Sanchez

It's been down for a month so Jim can install all the IP tracking, honeypot, and what they call the "sunlight" plugin that matches anons with real identities
You have to be a retard to trust old Freemasonic Jim.
>It's been down for a month so Jim can install all the IP tracking, honeypot, and what they call the "sunlight" plugin that matches anons with real identities > >You have to be a retard to trust old Freemasonic Jim. Man you Mossad shills are freaking out. You getting scared that you might get comped if you start spamming psy ops on infinite when it comes back up?
I've no interest in returning to Beechan when it comes back up. Keep trying to sway opinion though.
Blake Scott
you cannot that's the point I like to assume occam's razor and say that both sites are partially compromised, that Intel Agencies can easily get IP's and other information but only through an official request. I doubt they have the capability to be concerned with 99.999% of posts and only intervene when they think there is a serious threat or leaked/illegal information on the sites...

Noah Sanchez
As opposed to what? A site which gave free exclusive access to the FBI over a decade ago? A site with captcha pushed through google mandatory on every single post? A site which bans certain phrases about China outside of Jow Forums?
I haven't been fooled into anything. This place has been cooperating with the authorities for more than a decade. I enjoyed the slower more drawn out discussions 4+Jow Forums had to offer but, it will never be the same again.
Caleb Gray
I can't believe they had this whole hearing and never mentioned Q.
