Okay, I use Roadrunner, and this is slightly peeving me off. I use it here in Corpus Christi, TX, and so far I've loved how fast and effective it is, and how low my problems have been.
To hear that they would censor anything irks me. An entire ISP deciding what to censor and what not to censor makes me irritated, especially when I'm 20, nearing the age of 21, and I should be able to view practically anything I wish to (limited at Rights to Privacy, of course).
If I want to look at anything pornographic, I should be able to. If I want to look at guns, whether to buy (legally), sell (legally), or look over histories of (I doubt I could do this illegally), I should be able to. This is incredibly disheartening news, and seems slightly fascist (though instead of the government telling you what you can and can't look at or do, it's a corporation).
Bah, sorry for the minor rant here, I'm not really adding anything besides an editorial, but I had to pipe up.
