From Ars Technica: NY attorney general gets more ISPs to block alt.* newsgroups
Ars Technica checks out the new website, designed more as a promotion for Andrew Cuomo than anything to remove child pornography. Again, this is a good deal for the ISPs, since they can stop providing USENET services to their customers, but screws said customers since if they want USENET access to legal binaries, forcing them to sign up and pay a seperate provider like Ngroups to receive USENET.
Welcome to the unholy wedding of self-serving politicians and self-serving ISPs…
