OK, this is moveon.org, but I have checked it out with computer professinals
and the threat is real and it is imminent - early this week.
Congress, in it dedication to ignore thepeople of this country in favor of big business money, is about to vote on a law the legalizes internet extortion. Real people places like ATT want the right to extor money from websites (Like Paceadvantage.com) in order to continue to be "available."
What they will do, say if PA says no to paying the protection money, will put htis site on the bottom of the list. This means when you try to enter, it might take 5-10-15 minutes to open it up inder the new rules, where those paying protection get priority over those whoe do not pay. This could kill the free internet and wipe oout millions of sites. Basically, congress might sell the internet to huge providers like ATT.
If you are concerned, this internet pettiton is available and a large push to protect our internet freedom will be fought this week.
