Chris Poole operates the world's most popular child pornography web site. Let's all listen to what he has to say.

You are getting downvoted because your entire post is nothing but a guilt by association fallacy.

That's like saying Comcast is the largest child pornography delivery service in the US.

Try again.

"Internet Service Providers have argued against being classified as a "common carrier" and, so far, have managed to do so."

ISPs are not common carriers, however the extent to which they are protected websites such as 4chan are also protected.

"The National Security Agency operates the world's most popular child pornography web site, originally founded by Chris Poole. Let's all listen to what he has to say."

Fixed.

You're thinking of facebook.

[molesy]

You're thinking "successful due to its remarkably high level of cooperation with", rather than "wholly operated by."

Insert Twitter, Google responses below.

It's baffling that I'm being downvoted so much. Apparently most hackernews users are devoted fans of 4chan who use that site to get their child pornography fix.

I'm baffled that you'd make such a blanket statement without expecting to get downvoted. There are a lot of things that can be said about 4chan, many of which are certainly not flattering. But you're not going to get away with saying "most users" in conjunction with child porn, without some strong evidence.

It's baffling that you're getting downvoted for accusing a site of being government-operated with 0 evidence, and then you put down HN users? Really?

[molesy]

Naw, that was me. He just said moot runs the world's largest CP site and that's probably not a good reason to listen to him.

This is the internet, so pastebin is as good as any other evidence:

Of course that doesn't say NSA but my tinfoil is strong.

Seriously, if you don't believe that these large social sites that popped out of nowhere with no obvious need and no chance of profitability haven't at least been very happily ushered along the path to success by an all-too-eager network of governments that give not two shits about their population for anything but their perverse amusement and enrichment, you're a complete moron and a prime example of why the founding fathers knew you can't trust the people to run a country. Because you're morons.
