If every ISP has the same AUP then every citizen is forced under duress by a cartel of interests into violating their own human rights, freedom of expression and civil liberties. So fuck your Acceptable Policies! What we need is a Digital Bill of Rights <http://fcn.net> to over-ride these sinister commercial carte blanche policies and protect us from bastards like Mr. Neill.
From the "Digital Bill of Rights": The right to uncensored, free, and uncontrolled communications to and from unmoderated, public areas.
Define "public", please.
