Blogs, social networks, alternative news to be filtered out

I wonder if Clipmarks will be among them? If they want to block "alternative political websites, that go against the corporate establishment", blogs, alternative news and social networks, then half the internet will be banned! *LOL*

Damn, if this wasn't so ridiculously fascist, it would be funny.

Not so free, eh? Why not give the end users the ability to block these things? Whatever happened to those freedoms that they are supposedly fighting for?

ratilfar, that's part of Christian end-of-the-world mythology.

When shopping around for a new ISP, it's a good idea to ask whether mandatory filtering is part of the deal. Avoid any ISP that offers "family-friendly" features.

Yes, I know, I was just wondering what if anything it had to do with the clip.
