Developer Draws Legal Threat For Exposing Indian Telco's Net Neutrality Violation
knightsirius writes: Indian broadband and cellular operator Airtel was discovered to be injecting third-party JavaScript files into web pages delivered over their wireless networks. A developer was viewing the source of his own blog and noticed the additional script when viewed on a Airtel connection. He traced the file back to Flash Networks, an Israel-based company, which specializes in "network monetization" and posted the source on GitHub. Since then, he has received a cease-and-desist from Flash Networks and the code on GitHub has been removed following a DMCA takedown notice.
Readers may remember Airtel from its previous dubious record with network neutrality.

Will you please shut the fuck up, go the fuck away, and spare us your endless fucking stream of bullshit and drivel?
kthanksbye
I fight anti-Semitism and stereotypes...
In a more serious tone, and from the summary: "He traced the file back to Flash Networks, an Israel-based company, which specializes in "network monetization" and posted the source on GitHub. Since then, he has received a cease-and-desist from Flash Networks and the code on GitHub has been removed following a DMCA takedown notice." - we Greeks make good yogurt... next time you will get a "cease-and-desist" don't bother tracing it back to us!

STEREOTYPING IS BAD - mkay?
Sorry, i forgot to ask you to pull the stick out of your ass before reading it... anyway: it is a fucking naive joke (you know, "i fight anti-Semitism and stereotypes", plus... Jews and money!), plus... a fact of life!
Now let's talk about this "fact of life": an Indian guy gets a "cease-and-desist" from an Israeli company... are you still with me? O.K., let's continue. What this guy must do now for fighting back? Because if he gets in a plane and go to that Israeli company's headquarters to talk to them, they may ask him "how many Jews died in WW2?", and if he is a man of truth he must answer: much less than 6 millions*! (true story from Greece: an Indian illegal immigrant in Greece steals some stuff, gets arrested, in the police station they discover a Swastika tattoo and they accused him for being a member of our Greek -anti-immigration- NaZi party!!! Poor guy had to explain that this was a Hinduistic symbol...)
Moral of this comment: pull the stick out of your ass...
* since it is illigal for me to claim that less than 6 millions Jews died in WW2, and because i don't go to jail (yes, it is the law in most of Europe...), i declare that i support the lie of the 6 millions...
