The threat of filtering nude pictures of Emma Watson turned
out to be a viral campaign to close down 4chan.
Watson was threatened after giving a speech about gender
equality at the United Nations.
The threat seemed to come out after pictures of other female
celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence and Gabrielle Union came out.
I guess it’s a good thing it was a hoax, but do you really
have to try to shut down 4chan using another human’s body as bait? I really don’t
understand the craze about nude pictures. We all have intimate parts, so what’s
the big deal? Also, if you see these pictures you are violating the privacy of
a person. Point blank. And I don’t care what anyone says, this surge of nude
pictures only target women. I wonder how Watson, a woman who has been
sexualized by the media since she was very young, feels about this whole
ordeal.
What do you think?
I don't think 4chan CAN be shut down. It can crash, like it did during the initial leak of all those nudes, but it will never be shut down by the FBI or anything. There are too many moderators, too many people who are very skilled with website programming(what Fox News would call "hackers"), who are able to quickly filter/delete the photos that would get the site shut down.
