Yesterday some guy on 4shit's /b/ made a fake bomb threat to a university in Ontario. Pretty standard stuff.
Today, the guy (who lives in the UK) got arrested:

Of course Hiroyuki is, but then this is nothing new.
Moot also had a contract with the government. The entire FBI monitors /b/ for this shit and this has been known for a very long time. They don't monitor any other boards as far as I'm aware as it's typically only /b/ that this shit gets posted to, though I guess /r9k/ will be on their list now.
If you're still posting to Cuckchan after this then you deserve whatever happens to you tbh. That entire site is a gubment honeypot now.

What do you expect Hiroyuki to do? If you operate a website and police request information, especially related to a threat or possible violent crime, you have to comply. Moot has done the same thing in the past, every time. Hotwheels will as well.
If you post a serious-looking violent threat here, I'm also going to give your information to law enforcement. Of course, it's a different story if it's an obvious joke, like
>>42157.

>>43364I don't post to either.
Chans of that scale are always bad news. If lolcow were to ever get that big, good forbid, I'd dump this place too.

>>43382First, how is 4chan private?
Second, unless you leave some clue that it's a joke, how is anyone supposed to know you don't actually intend to kill people? A few people who posted threats on 4chan actually carried them out, even if the majority didn't.
Third, "I'm going to shoot up X school in New York" isn't even edgy humor, it's just retarded.

>>43395are you implying it's okay that people who shitpost for shits and giggles, including you, should be arrested because some people took their "humor" the wrong way?
Please, if you are, for the love of God just kill yourself you fucking cancerous faggot

>>434274chan has been watched by the FBI since like 2008 (see
>>43357), why is it only now that we're getting people arrested for parroting what's commonly known as a meme, even when they don't even live where they're claiming they're going to shoot up?
At this rate, half the people on /r9k/ typing "Reeee kill all normies" will be thrown in the slammer instead of actual criminals.

>>43413I strongly doubt it was him, threads like that are basically an everyday thing for that board. It was a mere coincidence that normies jumped on because they were secretly all looking for more frog pictures in their free time.
Let me remind you that these same media outlets saying "the frogposter did it" were totally convinced it was Eggman for a while, and publicly tarnished an innocent man's reputation without any real evidence. They are not reliable.
