The House Homeland Security Committee subpoenaed the owner of 8chan, Jim Watkins, on Wednesday in an attempt to force the Philippines-based entrepreneur to testify before lawmakers next month. The subpoena follows a series of white supremacist-inspired attacks across the world this year, many of which were linked to 8chan.
āWe have questions on what is being done to counter this trend so we can be sure it is being properly addressed,ā Reps. Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS) and Mike Rogers (R-AL) said in a statement. āReceiving testimony from Mr. Watkins is critical to our oversight on this matter.ā
āWe have questions on what is being doneā
The subpoena requests that Watkins testify before the committee on September 5th at 9:30AM. Watkins has not publicly responded as of publication. However, he did post a video to YouTube on Sunday saying that his team has kept 8chan offline until they speak with lawmakers. Itās unclear whether the lawmakers have requested that it remain inaccessible until that time.

Forty-two people died in a fire after pro-Russian protesters were trapped in the trade union building on May 2, 2014, and six others were gunned down in clashes. Moscow blames Kiev and its Western backers for the deaths, while Ukraine says the violence was provoked by foreign demonstrators.
