I’ll never understand anyone that uses their school or work emails for social networking.
Comment on 4chan’s ‘cesspool of the internet’ is down after apparently being hacked

Heard about this just a few hours ago, and have been laughing ever since. This is going to be brutal, there are people who registered with .gov e-mail addresses. As the use of 4chan has been cited to me as potentially disqualifying people seeking security clearance for government, police, or military careers, this hack single-handedly has the potential to torpedo thousands of edgy bois in one fell swoop.

I mean, is there even any verification? Or could I just register as bigboners69@harvard.edu or potus@us.gov?

honestly a registered .gov address is a great way to recruit new meat into the ICE grinder

Just wondering, what org specifically asks for 4chan use?
TrojanRoomCoffeePot@lemmy.world 3 days ago
I’ve been told that for clearance above reliability that social media use becomes an issue. 4chan was specifically cited to me by the person with whom I spoke. I’d assume that this means any/all alphabet government agencies, but Army was all that I heard about specifically.
“Do you browse or use 4chan?”
“No.”
“OK, good, because you weren’t advancing beyond this stage if you said yes.”

Unegrettably I don’t know how that community works but wouldn’t 90% of 4chan users say they don’t use 4chan?

Sure, but lying during a process involving security clearance would essentially hang over their head the entire time that they used the credential as a means to get work. It’s not like lying about whether or not you like the food that someone served at a dinner, it sticks.

Hilarious how you try to make fun of “edgy bois” while being one yourself and simultaneously being wrong.
If I ever seen a self burn.

Keep dreaming. 4chan only has registration for staff. All you have to do to post on 4chan is a captcha.

If you say so, I’ll take your word for it.

I love how you so confidently made your original statement despite not knowing even the bare fucking basics of how the site worked.

User’s data was breached, I laughed because I’m not one of them. This isn’t a doctoral dissertation, I don’t care how it works.
