4chan Changes Hands Once More: Sold to 2Chan Founder
http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/0...neer-2channel/
4chan is on fire (some of it of rage) because of this. Remember that the founder of 2Channel, Hiroyuki Nishimura, was ousted from the site due to selling data to private firms. After the oust, he tried to hack his way in.

It's not news that moot had been trying to monetize the site for years. The surprising thing isn't that he sold it but that he waited this long to sell. Even a cesspit like 4chan must have had some interested buyers along the line.

Will 4Chan’s New Boss Turn It Into a Weapon?:
"Japanese police sources are worried that some of 2chan’s sordid history of death, destruction and evading justice could come to its American counterpart." See: http://www.thedailybeast.com/article...-a-weapon.html |
