>>601420Yes they do. They actually own /b/.
Moot was going to be prosecuted for the rampant CP but he struck a deal with the feds. They have full control of /b/ while moot kept the rest of 4chan. Moot was unable to tell everyone due to a gag order. Most of the loli threads are used to trace pedos and keep an eye on them.
This is the reason why /b/ never had a banner contest a year ago. NewMoot isn't allowed to touch /b/.
