  on Don't Get Fooled: The Plan Is To Kill Net Neutrality While Pretending It's Being Protected
  I see you're afraid to post abusive comments under your own name. Fact: Yes, I am an ISP. A damned good one who cares about his customers. The regulations are bad for them and for the Net and must be repealed.
  
  As for Ajit Pai: I have no "vested interest" in him, but do respect him as a very capable and knowledgeable lawyer and a man of principle.
  
  As for Arse Technica: They're merely a clone of Techdirt, or maybe vice versa. They also get money from Google to lie about, and libel, ISPs.

  How about showing a bit of respect for Commissioner Pai, who is not only a very smart man but is leading the charge for something that everyone should want: transparency at the FCC? You may not agree with him, but don't insult his intelligence.
  
  Besides, he happens to be correct. Title II regulation would be horrible for the Net and would harm Net users worldwide by paving the way for nations to block, throttle, censor, and overcharge.

  That looks like an anti-spam proxy.

  on Revealed: ISPs Already Violating Net Neutrality To Block Encryption And Make Everyone Less Safe Online
  That behavior does not look like the ISP's equipment is altering messages from the remote server, but rather as if it is redirecting the session to a proxy server -- most likely for the purpose of stopping outbound spam.
  
  Such a proxy can send the mail onward in encrypted form once it's checked for spam. If this is the case, and there is encryption or even just physical security on the inbound connection, the privacy of the message isn't compromised.
  
  It's sad that such measures are necessary, but they are -- not only in public hotspots but in situations where a new user might sign up for new service from an ISP and then send boatloads of spam until the account is turned off. (This is happening a great deal nowadays.)

  Self-supplied data

  on Another Day, Another Study That Says 'Pirates' Are The Best Customers... This Time From HADOPI
  This "study" simply isn't credible. It trusts pirates to be honest about how much media they buy! Common sense says you simply can't do that.
