AT&T asks government to create national censorwall and system for disconnecting accused infringers

Posted on May 1, 2010 by pogowasright.org

Cory Doctorow writes:

In its comments to Victoria Espinel, the American IP enforcement czar, AT&T calls on the government to hold tribunal in which accused infringers will lose their internet access. It doesn’t want a full court to evaluate claims of infrigment (sic), just a high-speed, traffic-court-style process by which entire families will lose their lifelines to the electronic society.

AT&T also wants the government to establish a list of banned websites that all ISPs are ordered to block.
