CenturyLink/Qwest/Layer3 blocks Kiwi Farms

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Odd. I'm using T-Mobile and Century Link, in California if all places, and the site is up and working great. When it was down during the last attack Century Link took my support ticket and the guy working it seemed genuinely interested in what was going on. I still wonder if he was a fellow kiwi.

Hasn’t worked for me since yesterday. It must be dependent on location if it’s working for some people.
Centurylink sold their legacy copper based infrastructure and operations in 2021. They just transferred employees and assets a few months ago, this may be location dependent.
 
Hasn't grants and bailouts been a staple for them since at least the Obama Administration?

Longer. Can anyone remember a time when NPR was centrist? But grants come from money appointed for shit like “developing art and culture” on the face, and it’s just nepotism that makes them go to the left.

Payments directly from a three letter intelligence agency are a different kind of animal.
 
>Net Neutrality

Is this what the right means whenever they say "reap what you sow"?

Don't forget the prequel from 2012:

Unsurprisingly he wrote this (or had it ghostwritten) after somebody was mean to him on the interwebz.
 
Situations like this are exactly why "I'll just do the exact opposite of what (insert group I don't like here) does! That'll show 'em!" is a retarded way to form one's opinions and is no replacement for critical thinking no matter how cathartic it may seem. Seriously people. Support net neutrality, even if troons and redditors would theoretically benefit from it too.
That's why you should use your brain instead of basing your opinions on what Reddit thinks.
When all you can hear about an issue is unintelligible histrionics, you can't really make a good judgment.
 
Actually, their right in the US, as private ISPs, to drop you is not absolute, cf. this article:


depending on where this is all happening, it may be illegal for them to drop you because the reason itself causes the discrimination to be illegal.

Sure, no net neutrality - *however* ISPs cannot block *because* of race etc. and depending on the state bcs of political differences.

Section 230 shields internet providers from a lot of liability but does not shield them for discrimination on an illegal ground (again, depending on the state, differences in political opinion as a basis for discrimination are illegal).

Also depending on the details there are anti-monopoly and anti-speculation laws (the only baker in the village cannot refuse to sell you bread).

I wonder what would happen if the Bad ISPs customers started to complain too, because there might be other websites that the ISP is blocking. If I couldn't access your website because my ISP doesn't like it, I would try to get a list of other websites they are blocking so that I know what services are rendered for the money I pay.

For extreme autism, one could be an Irate Customer and go to a small claims court or equivalent. If they decide to stop services there might be anti-speculation/monopoly laws coming into effect.

This is an example of anti-monopoly/speculation legislation (which imho doesn't apply here but just to show you that these laws exist):
