Saturn In Virgo In The News: Comcast Blocks Some Internet Traffic
Outtakes and Various Other Sundries…
Comcast is the #2 internet provider. That’s big business (Saturn) and they are blocking / restricting (Saturn) communication (Virgo).
Comcast blocks some Internet traffic: Tests confirm data discrimination by number 2 U.S. service provider
From MSNBC:
“Comcast Corp. actively interferes with attempts by some of its high-speed Internet subscribers to share files online, a move that runs counter to the tradition of treating all types of Net traffic equally.
The interference, which The Associated Press confirmed through nationwide tests, is the most drastic example yet of data discrimination by a U.S. Internet service provider. It involves company computers masquerading as those of its users.
If widely applied by other ISPs, the technology Comcast is using would be a crippling blow to the BitTorrent, eDonkey and Gnutella file-sharing networks…”
How do you feel about this? Is it justified?

The prospect of communication companies (and by extension, the government) sorting through our communication is a VERY bad thing. Even if it were to be used for a supposedly “good” purpose, like blocking child porn, its unlikely that it would be limited to that. As the article suggests, this is part of a larger phenomenon that goes way beyond file sharing.

All this for file-sharing? That’s what I get from the article. Too bad they don’t block traffic for useful purposes, like getting rid of child pornography.
