If you haven't heard about
SaveTheInternet.com, they are collecting signatures for a grassroots petition to encourage Congress to pass "Net Neutrality" legislation.
Net Neutrality is a political issue with implications for independent websites everywhere. The nitty-gritty of Net Neutrality is that ISPs should not give preference to sites that pay them money, and block those that don’t.
During the event we urged Congress to protect Net Neutrality and stand firm against efforts by phone and cable companies to control the Internet.Senators Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) and Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.) joined us to call on their colleagues to support the “Internet Freedom and Preservation Act” (S. 2917), a bipartisan bill that would bar companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast from blocking, degrading or interfering with content or services on the Internet.

The problem Craig’s List is having with Cox is entirely of Craig’s List’s creation, and what you’ve written here is false.There is no blacklist, it’s a firewall issued caused by the bad TCP headers Craig’s List is sending.
I’ve verified it myself with Ethereal.
Please correct your post: you’re libeling Cox.

Thank you for letting me know, Richard. The George Ou article definitely clarifies the issue.
I still believe we need to keep the Net a neutral playing field. However, issues like this just remind me of why I hate politics.
