Re: I've had enough
Why are you so gung-ho when it comes to trying to conceal your online identity? I've been with Embarq for about 7 months now and have yet to have one obtrusive thing thrown at me from Embarq.
If you think the DNS redirection and ad placement are going away, you are sadly mistaken. There are no laws that prevent it, so more and more ISPs will be glad to scoop it up to increase revenue. |

I don't even know where to start. First of all, I shouldn't have to conceal my online identity, that should be the default. If I want people to know who I am, where I am surfing, what products I am buying, etc etc etc, I will tell them.
That is a good start.

We're giving away our freedom.

My problem with quips like these -- as right as they are -- is that they accept the premise that privacy is about hiding a wrong. It's not. Privacy is an inherent human right, and a requirement for maintaining the human condition with dignity and respect.
The real choice is liberty versus control. Kudos to the guy fighting to keep from being controlled by the self-serving interests of big business. I hope he cancels. |

I expect that the laws of the marketplace (competition) will hold sway in some areas. Should ATTIS jump on this DNS, and data snooping, bandwagon, there are at least competitive DSL providers I can look at.
