Anonymous message board 8chan, which has become a hotbed for the so-called manifestos of mass shooters and white supremacists, is being forced to create a copy of its message boards to on an obscure, decentralized platform. The move comes after multiple companies booted the site or its providers from their own services, including internet infrastructure firm Cloudflare.

The platform doesn't run on traditional web servers that can be seized or denied to certain customers. Instead, it spreads a site's content across the computers of people who install the related application, similar to the way BitTorrent and other peer-to-peer systems function. Supporters of the Islamic State have also turned to the platform.
