On web censorship...

Anyone got Telus as their ISP? Quoted from a friend...

Telus has decided to disallow its customers to access a webpage that was posted by their union.

If you are using a telus internet connection, you will probably not be able to go to:
http://www.voices-for-change.com

In order to voice my concern, I have called telus' tech support (who is already stressed because that's who's on strike) and I asked a few questions:
- Why can't I get to www.voices-for.change.com
- What else does Telus filter?
- Are there plans to have telus filter anything else in the future?
- Will I be charged less this month because of the filtering?
- Is Telus aware that this action may result in the loss of their common-carrier status?

If you guys can think of any other questions, please post them. Distribute this message as you see fit, don't bother referencing it properly.

Of course, with the power of the Internet, it's hard to keep anything blocked. As a result, here is a 'proxy' of the page:

Gah, this irks me.
