Is freedom on the Internet in danger?

Mega Phone and Cable Companies Threaten Free Internet
The second major threat to a free internet comes from the huge phone and cable monopolies, such as Verizon, Comcast, AT&T, and Bell South, whose phone and cable lines make the internet possible. Such phone giants are now committed to massive financial investment in order to combine all phone, internet, e-mail, and video transmission into unified ‘broadband’ communication ‘pipes’. These communication companies protest that Google, Yahoo, etc., as well as billions of internet users should no longer be allowed a relatively ‘free ride.’ Verizon and Comcast are spending millions lobbying Congress to deregulate the internet, allowing the phone and cable monopolies to commercialize and run it as a business. They desire ever-widening power to control not only the internet but all telecommunications.

If such consolidation happens, who will control the internet? Do we have clues concerning how such monopolies will respond to unpopular or politically incorrect ideas? Let’s consider two big giants of the telephone and cable industries: Verizon and Comcast.

At the same time, ADL is totally supportive of homosexuality, encouraging acceptance of the “gay lifestyle” even in kindergarten and grade school curricula. ADL supports abortion, pornography, and whatever is against Christian family values. It bestows "tolerance" awards on businesses, especially in media and communications, which discriminate against Christian "homophobia" and encourage respect for the "diversity" of homosexuality. /more/
