I hope this has not been posted anywhere yet, but i think this is a big deal. Just read this its about how comcast has been blocking bit-torrent, and it could get worse.

And they’re already doing it. In just the past few months, in addition to Comcast’s assault on competing file-sharing applications, Verizon has blocked text messages sent by NARAL Pro-Choice America to its own members, and AT&T is hatching launched plans to filter and inspect all Web traffic for perceived copyright infringements

everyone on here does realize that net neutrality is the web equivalent of the patriot act, right? well, it is different in that it gives all the power to private companies, but still, it sucks.

before the web gets turned over to the feds call comcast and complain A LOT about your tors getting blocked... that's the best way to get something done.

Seems to me the advertisers on the web ought to be the most upset as this would interfere with their business
