As mass protests against police brutality and racial injustice continue across the country, 4chan, a notorious alt-right troll hub online, is trying to meddle in protesters’ online operations.

On Sunday night, users of 4chan made several highly trafficked posts with links to dozens of Black Lives Matter channels on Telegram, a privacy-oriented, encrypted messaging app that has been used for organizing protests across the country. Users on 4chan encouraged others to post disinformation in the groups, find “incriminating” information that they can pass to law enforcement, and trawl the channels for as much personal, identifying, and organizational information as they can about people in the groups.

Some have already posted the phone numbers of volunteers organizing food and water for protesters, and phone numbers for jail support for arrested protesters. The 4chan posts didn’t include instructions for what to do with the numbers, but based on 4channer’s normal behavior, it’s possible that the implication is to harass the person on the other end of the line. In some cases, users in the threads are also doxxing what they believe to be “Antifa safehouses” by posting addresses of these homes.

3. More like in my eyes

The amount of wtf is not to be believed. Probably one of the biggest reasons I'm desensitized to everyone morbid and grimdark

6. 4chan is definitely the sewer of the internet.

Thank god they at least got rid of 8chan, 4chan's sub sewer.

7. 8chan was worse

Trust me because pedophilia ran rampant on that site

8. I think of 4chan like the sewer from Futurama.

It's dark, dirty, smelly, full of mutants, and you definitely don't want to drink the water. Plus it leads to a sub sewer (8chan) and there's also the possibility that a sub-sub sewer exists.

9. Sub sub sewer does exist

It's called the dark web.

10. I would not be surprised if some of them are lurking around here also..

It's the immediate sense of victimhood when you question the info on a post... I might be wrong and that's just me... ymmv
