Title: Stop Virgin
Post by: ~~Loktera~~ on April 15, 2008, 04:21:14 PM
http://stopvirgin.movielol.org/

(This was Copy Pasta'd straight from 4chan's /b/. Serious Business. I'd do something original, but I'm tired and am planning something atm)

Dammit, /b/, we have a real threat this time. This is more important than mudkipz, taking down Co$, scaring away newfags, or maybe even fapping.

Freedom on the internet is being threatened by Virgin Media's new CEO, Neil Berkett, who called net neutrality a "load of bullocks". He has admitted that Virgin ISP is allowing faster internet access to media websites that are paying Virgin Media, and conversely slowing down access to websites who are not paying Virgin.

This could indefinitely limit freedom of speech on the internet and access to the communications and media that we want. It might not do too much against us right now, but imagine what this could snowball into a few years down the road.

Let's nip this problem in the ass now, /b/rothers. Oldfag or newfag, we won't even have the chans if we don't do something now.
tl;dr?
Go to the website and watch the video. There is cleavage.

(end of copy pasta)

tl;dr
this is the cancer that is killing the internet. Save our home.

I read the topic as "Stop, Virgin!" like, "Stop, Thief!"




I was disappointed.

Except this is important. Seriously important. If 4chan cares about this, you know it means Serious Business.

This would be a good time to make a law that makes sure this doesn't happen.

And unfortunately, they're already do this in China, only they block EVERYTHING

lol. Zero style? XD;

Anyway... I've heard about this happening with other companies as well. Such as comcast.
I really don't like what I hear.
The best ways I think are to either boycott or (in the case of those with money. aka not us) to sue for legitimate reasons such as the blocking of certain civil rights. I'm sure there's some loop holes that can aid us. >.~

And yes... I also read the title as "Stop, Virgin!". As if you all wanted to stop people from being virgins. -.-;

When the net was in it's infancy I was having a discussion with a friend.

I told him, "Hey I have a new idea! Do you think it would be possible for a company to pay to have it's link listed at the top of a search engine? For example if a company was running a DVD movie e-commerce site they could pay yahoo to list their website at the top whenever anyone searches for the word DVD"
My friend scoffed at me and said that's HORRIBLE. 90% of the internet would be controlled by the wealthiest 10% 

I'll stop here. I think you guys can all figure out how this story ends.  :-\

We should get together and talk about this, or raise money for a lawyer or something
