A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's garnering popular hate just as EFF themselves predicted, but the case they made in their original article is absolutely valid.
It's unfortunate that the "victim" in this case turned out to be KF that everyone would rightfully be glad to be rid of; their despicable nature and the hostility they have cultivated buries away the main concern the article was trying to highlight - ISPs should not be the ones passing judgement on which website gets to live. That power should only reside with government authorities, and that too with strong checks and balances. This is setting a horrible precedent that will come to bite you back in the ass, I wish people would look past the banned site just this once and notice what the hell they are booing against.
