AT&T meet 4chan
This is pretty funny up until the point when you start to realize AT&T is taking a fundamental change and implementing a web filter/firewall for our own safety. Could this be the beginning of a censored web?
This story is just developing but it should be interesting to watch to say the least. One side note is that AT&T will be able to test out their new anti DDOS systems with this little maneuver.
From a comment on Digg to keep this in perspective:
Does AT&T even realise what they’ve done? What they’re dealing with? How THEY will not only come after AT&T as a whole, but will attack each individual employee? The first executive who speaks out on this can decide to apologise, and let it slide, or can support the ban, and see his life slowly fall apart due to porn subscriptions, free condom samples, pizzas being delivered, phone calls at all times of day, etc, etc.
THEY never forgive, THEY never forget.
