8chan: The far-right forum has been pushed offline

The far-right web forum 8chan, used to celebrate mass shootings and spread suspects' so-called β€œmanifestos”, has been forced offline after losing its cyber-security protection.

Cloudflare, a San Francisco-based firm that provides added security for websites to prevent cyber-attacks, said it would stop protecting 8chan. Emily Taylor who works at the London-based think tank Chatham House explains.
