Sen. Dorgan calls for hearings on Verizon blocking content

Oct 17, 2007: At the Commerce Committee "Wireless Consumer Issues" hearing today, Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.) said that the Internet must remain free of gatekeepers and urged the Committee to hold hearings on the recent incidents of censorship, referring to the NARAL-Christian Coalition op-ed.

"This, to me, is yet another example of a gatekeeper controlling the content of the network," said Sen. Dorgan. "I would like the Commerce Committee to hold a hearing on this issue of discrimination and further explore what I see as a clear and imminent problem."

well this news is not that stupid, the audio part of my george Carlin part of my new video, for some reason at my friends house who has Verizon internet and TV, just the george Carlin audio part was blocked, i checked other george Carlin videos and they did not have audio also, but at my home with cable modem every thing plays fine because Cable don't block anything!

Yes. Freedom  good! Censorship bad! That goes for kiddie porn too! Other countries follow what our misguided religious zealots say.
