Is 4chan legal?

It seems like some stuff on there might not be. Just curious. And what the hell is it anyway? Do people just comment on images or something?
 
Im almost paranoid to go on there. I have visions of some packet-sniffer at my ISP seeing some of the illegal garbage that idiots post on there.

It really is the cess-pool of the internet.

yeah..i have to admit that.

i scan 4chan every now and then. then i wish i didn't. heh
 
It isn't itself illegal. Sure some of the things they do/post there are and can be illegal but the site itself is legit. Basically it's a pseudo forum where people post images and comment on them etc. Just don't piss /b/ off.

i see. hmm. maybe ill go check it out.
 
It's no more illegal than YouTube is for hosting copyrighted content. If a user posts illegal material, that's on them, not 4chan.
 
Its legal *well hasnt been shut down yet* since 4chan doesnt approve or support illegal stuff. The admins delete the illegal stuff and ban the posters.

in b4 vanned

Well you guessed right. Sometimes you have spammers posting crap like "go here, save this file, rename to 4chan.js and run it" and of course it's a virus. It's so fucking obvious but when it first started I remember they had a huge flashing warning at the top of every page telling people not to do that because apparently some idiots did.
