Background: Hotwheels is Fredrick Brennan, founder and owner of 8chan, who, at the time lived in the Philippines because he couldn't afford to live in the U.S. due to his medical conditions (thanks big pharma/tech! for all of the regulations!) This was where most of Q's posts are found. Of course, not that long after this was posted, I believe he sold the website due to pressure. Then he was kicked out of the Philippines due to other legal bullshit that was through NO fault of his own. Last I checked, he is now back in the U.S. This unfortunately happens to just about EVERY English language, free speech, online message board or platform that gets over a 1000 active users a day. The owner either is forced to sell, or gets arrested because one of his users posts child porn or something illegal, and then the FBI uses that to shut it down despite being no fault of the owner. This is PRECISELY why Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, are the sole authorities on people congregating on the internet. Their monopolies were paid for by unlimited financing of the federal reserve and through killing all competition through the enforcement arm of the US government shutting everything else down. This is why we are in this situation right now!
He allowed lazy moderation and CP before Q got kicked off 4chan, pre-election. He only refrains from condoning it (and voices his distaste of the Watkins) after the fact to hide the fact that he’s a degenerate and a tool as well. He makes a poor attempt of hiding it even on his Twitter.
The Watkins and Brennan deserve to be both scrutinized. They’re both very suspicious. Both were in the HBO special as well.
Bullshit. Every. Message. Board. Has. Porn. Problems. Yes, even CP. I've ran several message boards, and periodically you'd get Feds posting child porn with honeypot links. It's sick. This has been going on for decades. It's the combination of an open image platform and the discussion of politics that draws them in like a bright light to flies. Again, this is why reddit, twitter and facebook are sole monopolies on the internet up until now. I think it's a miracle sites like this have been up for over a year, and I do believe white hats are at work.
I think Hotwheels made the mistake of "defending" child porn in a media interview. It was obviously a bad interview, but I have never once seen or witnessed any child porn on 8chan and I've used it quite extensively back then.
I was a lurker a long while back, and hung out on /pol and /b/....I hated seeing all the porn, so I could only manage small doses (and got wise pretty quick to opening images and links, t'be sure! LOL). I never really saw porn that involved children--again, learned fast to never click on anything randomly--but I did see a fair amount of images that had "young couples". I couldn't tell if the "participants" were over 18, but yeah, porn is an issue anywhere.
Remember that site, "Gaia Online"? people were posting nudes there and I know some of them were likely high-school kids most likely. At that time, our Daughter did the Gaia Art thing, so I told her how and what to avoid...especially that sort of thing.
AOL was the seed-bed for the bulk of this, too. Chatrooms, no verification, anonymous emails. Our teenaged Sons would get emails with seriously graphic images, get links in chatrooms and IMs. I remember they used to have AOL disks in Happy Meals and attached to cereal boxes back then, saturating the market (particularly though kids) to get them online and interested in handing out their images and getting them into clandestine activities.
Porn is an inherent problem with the Internet, not just the Chans.
It's not about moderation or cp. This is a red herring used to shutdown free speech all over the internet. Glowies post co on your website and then report it. Repeat ad nauseam. CP is being used to break free speech. Don't you remember the fiasco over on Reddit with fake trump supporters posting all kinds of shit and then reporting it to Astro turf bans on the whole sub?
