Owner of 4chan Hiro possibly datamining users?

This was post on the Official 4Chan Discord recently and its making its way through 4chan's /g/ and /pol/ boards.

Anyone have any idea whats going on?

 

Gook Moot strikes again!

 

@Null you run the lolfarms imageboard I think? Can you maybe explain what this 4chan Staff guy is talking about? He mentions malware and datamining?

 

IIRC people have been stating this was Hiro's intention all the way back when he actually bought it, this shouldn't surprise people.

 

History repeats itself.

 

Doesn't Gook Moot have multiple warrants for arrest in Japan?

 

Don't use a site run by a malevolent huckster with a past of data mining and fraud, that's my advice.

 

Literally him coming to this topic right now:

 

I have no idea, is their a KF thread on Hiro?

 

Null. I remember him in chat saying this would happen. Someone owes him a soda. No sugar though. He'll be up all night.

 

moot was in bed with Google and the feds for years, I don't know why everyone is freaked out all of a sudden.

 

Nobody expected a Nap that MisterMetokur made a video on warning everyone he was going to do, to actually fucking do it.

 

what?

 

4chan has some official discord you can get off IRC. It's gay don't bother

 

I'm pretty sure Hiroshima Nagasaki is involved with certain government agencies in the US. He's also a scammer too. Remember when 4chan was "encountering financial difficulties" and Hiro was complaining about how "he failed"? Apparently he did that shit with 2channel too at least once. Guy is sketchy as fuck.

 

Could have sworn /g/posters tossed up red flags ages ago.

 

He's already had malicious ads on the site. Including from early on. Anyone who thinks hiroshimoot blew two million buying that pit is a fool.

That was pretty necessary at the time idiots were constantly posting CP and shit. It beat him having to answer the door every few hours there was another CP report.

 

Has Hiro made a statement about this on his Q&A board?

 

Do people still go to 4chan?
Hey null if anyone here goes to 4chan ban them for being underaged
