Breaking the Net

Anti-news: Unscrupulous "Internet" providers are running web traffic through proxies and doing evil things to search results. Apparently this goes beyond Comcast's Comcastic policy of breaking DNS, to actively using proxies to alter web traffic.

In my perfect world we'd be able to legally define "Internet" to preclude shenanigans like this and turn the FTC and civil litigation on the entities which claim to be offering "Internet" but are actually offering some sort of online service which happens to have a broken Internet gateway.

Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
