=== YouTube 4chan porn raid === | |||
4chan users posted porn under names of teenage celebrities, it was done because YouTube deleted some music. The attack would spawn a meme called "I'm 12 years old and what is this?" which was in response to a comment on one such video. 4chan would attack again with porn after a YouTube channel called lukeywes1234 had been suspended for being under 13. The second attack was because lukeywes1234's videos were popular with 4chan, which were angered when he was terminated. | |||
