The more I think about the countdown hold, the more convinced I am that it is connected to FB/Twitter. Why? Because the FF event was so directly connected to them.
Consider: The FF was live-streamed on Facebook!! Who might facilitate such a thing? Well.... Facebook would. And then one huge motivation for the event seemed to be an effort to take down not Facebook, but 8ch.
This only makes sense to me if FB was in colluding in the FF and if FB did this because they felt they were in immediate danger.
great point gen.
Makes a lot of sense, gen.
