Verizon claims (effectively) that they can censor anything you say on the Internet
http://j.mp/VgIFNP (SFGate)
"Verizon takes the prize for most outrageous claim of a First Amendment
right. Its challenge to the 2010 Federal Communications Commission
rule that requires an open Internet - effectively preventing the
companies that provide online connections from censoring or favoring
content - as an abridgement of Verizon's free speech. If Verizon's
argument as presented to a federal appeals court holds, then the
constitutional guarantee of "free speech" suddenly would include the
right to suppress someone else's ability to transmit or receive
information."
