Without condoning or decrying this practice, I believe TWC allows you to =
opt-out of that. (Whether they should require you to "opt-out", or do it =
at all, is intentionally not discussed.)

What makes you think TWC did not do the same?

And it was a lot more than the New York Times that had issues, and there =
was a lot more than a single instance of this.

To be clear, Google is Johnny On The Spot when these things happen, and =
kudos to them for it. But so are lots of other providers (e.g. OpenDNS, =
who has been doing this a lot longer than Google), they just might not =
have "teh GOOG" name to get them in the press & blogs.
