I wouldn't have taken anything down and told vzw to F*** themselves and “come at me, bro.”

I'm confused. How is Verizon "TAKING AWAY ARE FREEDOMS"?

They are blocking the first amendment of freedom of speech and censoring the internet. Did you watch the video?

Great video. It's sad that 98% of Verizon subscribers don't even know this is going on.

I did watch the video. Care to answer my question without referring to the video? I don't see how they are blocking the first amendment.

To my knowledge, Verizon is looking to be able to speed up our slow down a user's connection to a site. Depending on if said site pays Verizon a premium or not. Maybe go as far as to blocking sites if they don't pay up.

You want users to have fast and speedy access to your site? Pay up then. If not? We will just slow it down. Really really slow. Muhahahaha!

I'll repost the blog. Someone send it to me and tell vzw to come and get me.

So don't pay for their service. Simple as that.

When you are locked into a 2 year contract that doesn't end for another 1.5 years or more (phone has been out since November remember) not paying=screwing up credit. Or paying the cancel could contract fees or sucking someone else into taking over the contract which isn't right.

It isn't "as simple as that"

Not to mention they have superior coverage. Without Verizon I would not be able to get a decent cell signal at work or home.

Are there any other providers that are able to use the RAZR

When did access to the Internet become a "right"? The first amendment to the Constitution ;


Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Verizon is not Congress, folks.....

They still don't have the right to tell someone to take a post down, regardless if it is degrading to them or not. We, the people, have the right to say what we want, to an extent, without prosecution. The suit would be thrown out in court by a pre-law student, let alone someone who knows what the hell they're doing.

It doesn't matter if it's Congress, or if it's Verizon. They still can't order someone to take something off the internet because they don't like it.

I'm just happy to say that I don't use Verizon as my only connection to the internet. Luckily for me, it's only a phone connection. But they are treading on some dark areas. The whole world is going to get crazy considering just how big the internet has become over the last 20 years and now, depending on who's in charge at that given moment, there are plenty of people who, in their lust for more power, want to control the internet in it's entirety. The worlds gonna be a scary place in the next 20 years if some of the things people are pushing for actually happen.

[garywojdan81]

Would like to watch the video, but the link won't load. Hmmmmmmm...........
Finally got it to load. So if Verizon owns the internet, does that mean Al Gore sold it to them?
