The website was shut down after a 2000+ word manifesto from the El Paso shooter was uploaded over the weekend.

The owner of the far-right internet forum 8chan has responded to accusations the platform is ‘lawless’ after the recent El Paso mass shooting.

A similar incident occurred prior to the Christchurch shootings when a manifesto was also circulated around 8chan.The site is currently down but may reappear before long Watkins said: ‘First of all, the El Paso shooter posted on Instagram, not 8chan. Later, someone uploaded a manifesto, however, that manifesto was not uploaded by the Walmart shooter – I don’t know if he wrote it or not, but it was not uploaded by the murderer.

The words of Cloudflare’s boss have caused Mr Watkins ‘tremendous damage’, he added, but he admitted they have the right to terminate business as a private company.
