AT&T | Censoring Your World

AT&T is one of the big communications companies that wants to control the Internet. During a concert by Pearl Jam they deleted references to George W. Bush. Does this really sound like someone you want to control your access to music and information?:

--

"..When rock band Pearl Jam sung the lyrics "George Bush, leave this world alone" at a music festival over the weekend, fans following along online didn't hear the message chanted from a Chicago stage.

AT&T Inc., which broadcast the performance on its Blue Room Web site edited the lyrics from its live Webcast of the Sunday performance at Lollapalooza, leaving the musicians to cry censorship.."

Go to Huffington Post for more.

...
Anyway, pretty simple really-don't put corporations in charge of the Internet. Corporations have their own agendas. It's just like you don't put corporations in charge of the government, or war, or the environment, or.. wait..dubya's already put them in charge of those. Hopefully though we can at least keep them away from the free flow of information on the Internet:
