Banned Indefinitely Censorship on Wikipedia |
My experience at Wikipedia was that it was the coldest, hollowest and creepiest place I have ever been in. I did quite a bit of poking around while I was there and still do.

The bill would effectively end what is known as "net neutrality" which is the concept that that everyone, everywhere, should have free, universal and non-discriminatory access to all the Internet has to offer. It would permit isp's like AOL to charge fees for most online transactions and to prioritize emails based on the senders' willingness to pay.full story |
