The notorious social networking website 8chan was taken
offline on Monday afternoon following discontinuation of support from
various service providers to the platform over its links to the mass
shooting in El Paso, Texas. Emily Birnbaum
reporting
in The Hill writes: "8chan, which critics have called a breeding ground
for white extremism, first went offline early Monday morning after web
security firm Cloudflare cut ties with the website. While it came back
online briefly, its service was cut off again by the afternoon after two
other firms critical to its web infrastructure dropped 8chan as a
client. 8chan administrator Ron Watkins confirmed the website had gone
down around 1 p.m."
