[Infowarrior] - More on...Comcast Blocks Some Internet Traffic

[Richard Forno]

Agree --- it does make you wonder!

My sense is that this is because there's no loudmouthed, deep-pocketed
industry cartel in the antispam industry that also owns a fair number of
Congresscritters who give them whatever goofy protections/rules/support they
ask for in the furtherance of their agendas no matter how far-fetched or
loony it might be. To these folks,

Torrents = piracy = bad = Congressional help

SMTP = email = stuff we use daily for good  = confusing geekspeak =!
Congressional help

> Comcast Blocks Some Internet Traffic


One of the things that this tells us is that Comcast has the
technical means at its disposal to monitor and block traffic
when they wish to...which leads to the interesting question
"Why haven't they used this at any point during the past half-decade
to block (or at least throttle) outbound SMTP connections from
the millions of spam-spewing zombies on their network?"
