Peeps, I’m following closely. It’s not looking good for a C-span live stream as this is a CLOSED DOOR session. Looks to start at 9:30 EST so if anyone has news through out the day this is the place to post it. The 8chan twitter link below might be your best place for up to date info.

The founder of the fringe internet message board 8chan has a message for lawmakers and their staff before the website’s current owner, Jim Watkins, is deposed Thursday on Capitol Hill: “He’ll lie through his teeth.”

Watkins is scheduled to answer questions Thursday morning as part of a closed-door session with the House Homeland Security Committee. Lawmakers subpoenaed Watkins last month, seeking answers for how 8chan became a dumping ground for white nationalist manifestos shortly before raced-based terror attacks.
 
Watkins has insisted that the site would come back online after his closed-door testimony.

8chan owner Jim Watkins provided evidence to congressional staffers on Thursday to comply with a subpoena the House Homeland Security Committee issued him after a series of racist manifestos from mass shooters were posted on the site. His site has remained down since shortly after the shooting — but new statements made to The Verge suggest it may be coming back sooner than many expected.
 
According to Watkins’s lawyer, Benjamin Barr, 8chan’s owners hope to have the site back online in the next week or so. In his prepared remarks for the committee, Watkins said that 8chan is currently “offline voluntarily” and that it may come back online soon, once the site “is able to develop additional tools to counter illegal content under United States law.”
 
“This isn’t written in stone, but somewhere around a week, they hope to be back,” Barr said.

Watkins paints 8chan as “a one-of-a kind discussion board” where users discuss politics, video games, and “down-home recipes.” The racist speech that plagues the platform only comes from “a small minority of users,” according to Watkins, and 8chan “has no intent of deleting constitutionally protected hate speech.”

COMMENTS ON THE WHOLE THING HERE:




PS:  Code Monkey had tweeted on the 4th to call Congress and push for the 8chan interview to be broadcast public.  of course it happened on the 5th-no time, really.
