4Chan has said it will enact a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) policy to let content owners get illegally shared material removed.
According to BBC news, it will now remove content after it gets a “bona fide infringement” notice.
Before now, image-sharing site 4Chan has largely avoided having to actively police many of its discussions boards because of the frenetic nature of the site itself. An upper limit on the amount of material any board can support means that content often disappeared or “expired” before demands to take it down were filed. On the busiest 4Chan boards, content expires in a matter of hours.
