34 ISPs Subpoenaed By U.S. Government
seanonymous writes "The Justice Department, in their continued effort to revive questionable legislation, has subpoenaed dozens of ISPs for files. Considering that ISPs generally host their users' mail, this seems like it could be a larger issue than their fight with Google over search queries. Some, like Verizon, even resisted the call for information." From the article: "Representatives for McAfee and Symantec confirmed that the companies had received and complied with the subpoenas. A spokeswoman at LookSmart did not immediately return a phone call. Many of the subpoenas asked for information related to products that can be used to filter out adult content for underage Internet users. Symantec's subpoena, dated June 29, asked for a wide range of information about the price and popularity of the Internet filtering products it sells and how the products are used by customers. " Information Week has a number of the documents involved, including the letter of objection from Verizon.
Why is the government so concerned about controlling children's access to porn latley? Have the children found a way to extract oil from internet porn?
Republicans stand for small, limited, noninvasive government. Personal freedom, corporate independence.

"take a hands-on approach with their children online."
That's disgusting!
In an effort to reduce children's exposure to pornography, the U.S. Government today subpeonaed all existing forests and wooded areas. "It's commonly known that the second greatest, and before the internet the greatest risk for children's exposure to obscene materials stems from finding porn in the woods," said State Department representative Ms. Fascista McRedstate. "The fight against standing timber is the fight to save our children."

So and can mean and or or, and or can mean or or and? (Or possibly and can mean and and or... no, let's not get crazy.)
Talk about a broad subpoena. If I were Comcast, my response would be, "It depends what your definition of is is, jerk. You owe me two hundred thousand dollars."

I'd suggest that it's safest for him if he move out of the country, but, realistically, the Freemasons are scattered throughout the world, and they are likely to catch him wherever he goes. Their tie to the Illuminati is obvious, and it is also obvious that the Illuminati is behind all of this.
I think that he needs to run to the mountains of Montana, move into a cave, and then build a faraday cage IN that cave to block the signals from the RFID chip implanted in his brain. Just to be safe, he should wear a tinfoil hat on the drive.
If he chooses to go through Canada, instead of into Montana (better Maple syrup, honestly), then he should refuse to remove the hat at the border, and scream "They're going to get me! Save me! They've caught up with me!!"
"Al-Qaeda is funded by porn sites!"
Since the **AA seems to think that online downloads are costing them money, then wouldn't this mean that by downloading my porn on eMule, I am helping to fight terrorism? Awesome!
Google Image search for "old fasioned adult porn"...

Aren't there laws about that ?
Ha! You fell into their foul trap! Don't you know that Canadian maple syrup has a biogenic compound that causes a person wearing a tin-foil deflector beanie to start bleeding EM radiation out their pores. This is especially insidious since, during the type of self-manipulation that people often participate in during on-line perusals of mature content, a huge burst of EM radiation will occur along with usual burst that is the natural end result of such self-manipulation.

Yes.
