AT&T to Help MPAA Filter the Internet?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the real-man-in-the-middle-attack dept.

Save the Internet writes "Ars Technica is reporting that the MPAA is trying to convince major ISPs to do content filtering. Now, merely wanting it is one thing, but the more important point is that 'AT&T has agreed to start filtering content at some mysterious point in the future.' We're left to wonder about the legal implications of that, but given that AT&T already has the ability to wiretap everything for the NSA, it was only a matter of time before they found a way to profit from it, too."

    It's kind of fun, but we can't point out people's grammatical errors like we can with the good old non-pirate speak.
