New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has found that Comcast won't cave in to his anti-Usenet vendetta as quickly as some other companies, so he's threatening a groundless legal action against Comcast.
The news media have fallen into line, routinely referring to newsgroups as "child porn" in covering Cuomo's censorship campaign. Cuomo may be taking advantage of Comcast's unpopularity for surreptitiously blocking packets in a ham-handed attempt to limit traffic. But tell me, "net neutrality" people, where are you? Isn't an attack on NNTP an attack on net neutrality? Or does the fact that Cuomo's a Democrat make the difference?

Just cant see why Cuomo is not happy with just letting them filter the groups rather than eliminating Usenet completely. For me personally, I've made the switch to Newsdemon since they're offering 15% off for the life of the account for Comcast subscribers such as myself.
