No, those people very much need a boot stamped into their face (metaphorically). The vast majority are cowards who hide behind anonymity or in their sick community. Catch a few and make an example of them and the vast majority will back off. I'm talking about NZ here, I understand the situation in the USA is different and worse.

In fact, though, they won't be cut off. 4chan and 8chan are both accessible to me here in NZ with no tricks.

I think it's DNS blocking with the ISP-provided DNS servers. Perhaps you're using google public DNS already?

In Australia I believe it was blocking at the IP address level, so requires a VPN to circumvent. But only for some ISPs.
