Re: Telus within their rights

Since I am not Canadian this instance is not really my problem. I am concerned about the possibility of this type of action in the U.S. I do not want to have to pick my ISP base on Thier politics.Also it would probably not be good to have opposing view points unavailable.Believe it or not I have occasionally found my opinions to be wrong.If I only have access to opinions which mirror my own how will I ever become wiser?What if your provider is a flaming liberal and wants to block websites that support conservative points of view.Censorship is bad, be it by a government or a corporation.I Hope that this type of thing never happens here but fear that in our current political climate anything is possible.

For the most part it wouldn't happen (at least to the point where you wouldn't know it was happening because the fact is a selling point, ie: "family friendly ISP's") because businesses don't want to piss off a good portion of their customers. The wise owner keeps politics as far away from their business as possible.
