Did Verizon block access to the Web’s most infamous message board? 4chan thinks so. Christopher Poole, founder of the site that brought the world rickrolling, claims that Verizon has been “explicitly blocking” access to 4chan.

“Over the past 72 hours, we’ve been receiving reports from Verizon Wireless customers having difficulty accessing the image boards,” Poole wrote. “After investigating, we found that Verizon is dropping traffic… only on port 80 (HTTP). No other subdomain/IP/port is affected, which leads us to believe this block is intentional.”

Verizon over the weekend told Read Write Web that, while it was being bombarded with calls about the issue, it could neither confirm or deny that it had intentionally blocked the access to the site.
