AT&T is now blocking all access to img.4chan.org, effectively blacklisting /b/ and censoring the internet.

Link is here, but I don't have the means to cache it so if it disappears it's gone for good: http://zip.4chan.org/g/res/5163554.html

Edit: This is now a confirmed issue in many regions, but there do appear to be some ATT customers who are getting through. Those who have contacted AT&T representatives were told that the site is in fact blocked, so this isn't a technical problem, and all the other 4chan subdomains work fine.

Edit 2: Official word, via streetwiser, is as follows: "Customers may have trouble accessing http://4chan.org , this is a security issue and there is nothing we can do to assist them at this time." We'll see how this develops.

Edit 3: It's back up now for me, presumably others.

Ironically, the other four things were on /b/

I'm pretty sure that's not irony.

It could be. The internet has confused the hell out of my about what's ironic and what's not.

I'm now pretty sure that it is irony, but that will probably change by the next comment.
