corporate censorshipThis isn't a free speech issue. Since your speech is via a corporate megaphone, they can turn it off when they want. But no government runs an isp that we can be guaranteed would protect free speech, so what are the alternatives? I would hope this company would fair poorly in a decision to pick an isp in the future. |

Very true, The Yes Men exercised their rights of free speech through parody, Exxon exercised their rights of free speech through threats and Broadview Networks exercised their free speech by caving under pressure and not understanding how free speech works.
It's like a big free speech party with free speech streamers and free speech cake for everyone.
Why anyone would do business with an ISP or hosting company that bows to any generic request for removal, is beyond me. I think I'll call up Level 3 and request that google be removed from their network. I find it's multicolor design offensive. |
