of censorship.
My own lovely ISP has apparently been engaged in both political and technological censorship. Comcast has been caught filtering e-mails that contain the URL http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/ In addition they are interfering with a variety of applications such as P2P, FTP, VoIP etc that their customers use. I personally find this highly disturbing.
Recently Truthout.org reported that their e-mails were being blocked by AOL, Yahoo, and Microsoft.
But wait, there's more. Apparently Clear Channel stations are being told not to play any songs from Bruce Springsteen's new album Magic. This is the same Clear Channel that dropped Howard Stern for "obscenity" shortly after Stern came out in favor of John Kerry in '04. As if that wasn't bad enough they were also the sponsors of the idiot Glenn Beck when he toured the country drumming up support for the Iraq War.
And who could forget AT&T censoring Pearl Jam's political comments.
What ever happened to freedom of speach?
