| This Whole thing is just Vote Getting. First of all, dumping newsgroups entirely stops people like myself accessing a large number of technical groups such as Microsoft and Adobe groups. I know Verizon took the easy route and killed all newsgroups except a few weird ones instead of taking the time to remove only the porn and warez.
There was a whole piece of rubbish in our local newspaper today about how Cuomo is single handedly getting rid of porn on the internet.
All it means is that now I have to pay $10 to access Microsoft and Adobe newsgroups through a third party. Believe me there are a lot more unsavory newsgroups available through third party pay services than through ISP's.
I am sure that any pedophile, pirate and porn addict is already using a third party anonymous service. If mommy does not want little Johny (or daddy) looking at porn or downloading MP3's on the internet there are a lot better ways to do it other than killing newsgroups. Mommy had better think again before believing Cuomo has actually done something. |
