RE: It’s Classic on KFSK Petersburg Alaska:
My previous program of Alison Balsom’s performances of Fasch, Corelli, Torelli and Bach is still available as a podcast download at
https://kfsk-org.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ebb-thu-4.mp3 (NOTE: The first few minutes is local weather)
The station is supposed to update the link to the most recent program but this one is still up. Tonight’s program should be available for download tomorrow if you miss the live stream tonight. Still taking requests.
The Verge: 8chan could be back online as soon as next week, lawyer says
Obviously that hasn't happened yet.
I was searching news feeds to see if there is anything new on that topic and found this article.
The Verge: 8chan is under police investigation in the Philippines
I wasn't aware of this, but it may explain why the return hasn't happened yet.
The NBI was allegedly focusing on the proliferation of child pornography on the site. Now, 8chan is in the spotlight again because of a screed apparently posted by the man who killed 22 people in El Paso, Texas, this weekend. The site has gone offline after being dropped by infrastructure providers Cloudflare and Epik.Watkins flew under the radar for a long time, but that is over now. You can't get much more high profile than testifying to Congress.---
The United States has expansive laws protecting freedom of speech, and Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act broadly shields sites like 8chan from liability if users post illegal content. But that won’t necessarily protect it elsewhere.
His position in the Philippines could quickly go from bad to worse, should the authorities there decide they've had enough of him. Maybe he will decide to stay in the USA, which as the article notes still has much stronger free speech protections than anywhere else.
I think regardless of where he decides to live he's going to face a somewhat united front of tech companies working to keep his site off-line.
