AT&T has confirmed that they are “currently blocking portions of the internet site 4chan.org”, but states that they are “following the practices of their policy department.”
AT&T went on to say that they did contact (or, at least, attempted to contact, they wouldn’t clarify) the owners of 4chan. They say that they have specific reasons why they blocked these parts of the site, but they would not disclose them to CentralGadget.com. AT&T states that they have requested specific things and changes from 4chan’s owners, and that 4chan has not complied.
Within hours of the blocking a report on CNN's iReport said that AT&T's CEO Randall Stephenson had died - of a cocaine overdose - apparently an attempt to destablise the AT&T stock price by 4channers.
