Congressman Tells Comcast, Hands Off BitTorrent
An anonymous reader writes "Just a few months back, the Net Neutrality debate was all but dead. Luckily for fans of a free Internet, the telcos are their own worst enemies. Recent stories involving Verizon Wireless blocking pro-choice groups, AT&T censoring Pearl Jam's anti-war comments from a streaming concert, and most recently, Comcast finally admitting to using anti-BitTorrent filters. The Net Neutrality debate would appear to be alive and kicking, with Congressman Rick Boucher (D-VA) being the first politician to make a public statement sharply criticizing Comcast's actions."
Um no. If you want to win this argument, you keep it simple stupid (KISS). You don't throw in grey areas and technicality's that only techies and geeks can understand. You make a simple point and keep repeating it over, and over and over again.
It's worked for the Bush Administration and the Republicans for the past 7 years.
It seems to me that it's common knowledge that Comcast are bastards. I pity anyone who is unfortunate enough to live in a place where they have to get their internet service from Comcast.
This isn't flamebait, dumbasses.
Just disrupt the deflector shield with a tachyon burst.
