I saw it on the news about a month ago. It mentioned AOL and how, apparently during the last presidential election, they blocked sites that supported Kerry or opposed Bush.

It's bad enough to think that they can pick and choose what they want you to see when the internet has always been "anything goes," but that they would use it to limit your access to political information is downright frightening. neutral

and thats how you breed stupidity.
simply by excluding ( vital ) information.
decisions made on unsuficiant information almost always leads to problems.
i think you could sue AOL for that, based on the 1st ammendment, or what ever you call that law for "freedom of speech"..

If they can limit politics then why the hell can't they put their attention to limiting dangerous sites like "how to build a bomb" for god's sake sweatdrop

Sounds pretty damn stupid to me. As Rayin said, I'm (well, my parents anyway) paying for my internet and I expect to get what I pay for.

Although, I'd be fine with just Gaia lol

i have a site; i use it for hosting images, my (ugh i hate this word) "blog," and some other stuff for my friends. also email. so because it's small and doesn't have a ton of traffic, i get the screw. thanks, jerks! now all my images that i post elsewhere will load more slowly - i doubt people will stop reading my journal, though, because it's all people who read it on purpose anyway.
