尊敬的先生/女士，

2019年，有人把三条恐怖份子宣言上传至8chan。新西兰克赖斯特彻奇、加利福尼亚州波威和德克萨斯州埃尔帕索的恐怖分子使用8chan上传他们的宣言。有超过70人在这三起袭击中丧生。

结果，美国很多主要网络将8chan移除。8月Tucows、CloudFlare和Epik平台将8chan下线；10月，Zare（英国）平台也将其下线。

从那时起，8chan的所有者吉姆·沃特金斯和他的儿子润·沃特金斯日益迫切的寻找托管方。

从下面的链接可以看到，8chan还组织了一个支持香港抗议者的板块，许多香港人在抗议中国政府的运动中使用了该板块。

他们现在正试图把网站托管至您的网络。我希望您不会像其他人那样允许他们这样做或为他们提供途径。

他们的IP是161.117.41.174（阿里巴巴）和129.226.123.252（腾讯）。

此致
敬礼

Fred Brennan敬上

Dear Sir or Madam,

In 2019, three terrorist manifestos were uploaded to 8chan. The terrorists in Christchurch, New Zealand, Poway, California, and El Paso, Texas, used 8chan to upload their manifestos. Between all three attacks, over 70 people died.

As a result, 8chan was removed from many major American networks. It was deplatformed by Tucows, CloudFlare and Epik in August; and from Zare (UK) in October.

Since then, 8chan's owner, Jim Watkins, and his son, Ron Watkins, have become more and more desperate to find a host.

As can be seen at the link below, 8chan also hosted a board supportive of the Hong Kong protesters, and which many Hong Kong people used in their campaign against the Chinese government.

They are now trying to use your network as their host. I hope that you will not allow them to, and will show them the door, as others have.

Their IP is 161.117.41.174 (Alibaba) and 129.226.123.252 (Tencent).

Best,
Fred Brennan
