The owner of an online forum in which the alleged El Paso shooter posted a manifesto says the forum’s internet-service provider 'has dispersed a peacefully assembled group of people talking'
The owner of online forum 8chan defended his company in a YouTube video Tuesday against the internet-services provider that effectively took it offline and against attempts to silence platforms of speech.
Jim Watkins, an internet entrepreneur who took control of 8chan in 2015, said the forum has been helping law enforcement with its investigation into a Saturday mass shooting at an El Paso, Texas, Walmart store that left 22 people dead and more than 20 injured.
