FCC's Martin Drops Porn Filtering Idea
 

For the nationwide free wireless broadband network for use by all that people are talking about, this Martin wanted to filter porn sites...Which begs the question, what is porn exactly? Is this censorship, blabady blah blah.

"Until now, this ambitious proposal has met with resistance from everyone from incumbent wireless service providers such as T-Mobile USA, worried the new network would cause interference to its users to consumer advocacy groups, which have particularly objected to Martin?s idea of filtering adult content available on this public network. Well, in an interview published by Ars Technica on Dec. 29, Martin said that he has dropped his porn filtering idea in hopes of garnering more support for the open network proposal."

Good to hear that he had problems getting it through because of filtering. +1 for the good guys.
