Dana, you need to get your facts straight. DailyKos isn't exactly an authority figure on
this and he even admitted to jumping the gun on
the story like so many other people.
The owner of 4chan admitted that their
equipment unfortuantely attacked AT&T
customers. Because 4chan failed to lock down
their own equipment, and because 4chan is notorious for organizing DoS attacks against
other websites which makes them a top site for
retribution, 4chan caused harm to AT&T
customers. Yet when AT&T does their job to
protect the network from 4chan, you glorify the
villain 4chan as the hero against censorship.
There are tens of thousands of DoS attacks
whose IP addresses are blocked every day by
ISPs and not a peep from anyone. Millions of
emails are blocked by ISPs every day. Is that
censorship too Dana? Are you proposing a whole
new government agency to inspect every piece of
spam to verify that censorship wasn't
committed? Let's get real Dana.
