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.

Acceptable policies like the one you probably had to agree to? And since when is "Internet Access" a human right like "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness"? Before a bunch of people jump on this bandwagon and/or respond, you'd be well advised to look at the website listed and see where Mr. Allistat is coming from. It's...enlightening.
