Although they unblocked it, the idea of ISPs beginning to control content is f***ing horrifying.

Anywho, the U.S. legislature has tried 5 times already to pass a Net Neutrality bill. Though, with a Democratic controlled House and Senate it might pass this time around...if they get around to it.

I'd like to see round 6 of Google/Microsoft vs the Telecommunications Industry. It's not every day you that get to root for the lesser "evil empire". Funny how the little man never makes it into the ring.

s***. If they block 4chan for alleged dos attacks, they should ban the entire .ru tld by that reasoning. And possibly .ro. And definitely .kp.
