A Portside report from David Swanson details concerns regarding Comcast censorship of email from the After Downing Street coalition. The censorship disrupted organizing for the group’s July 23 events by blocking emails that contained links to the coalition’s web site. No spam was involved. Workers’ communications with each other were blocked. I haven’t heard before of political censorship of email based on content by a service provider.
More information can be found on Brad Blog, and at People Link.

comcast is blocking certain sites for me such as democracynow streaming page. I get a comcast page saying I need to disable my antivirus, firewall and popup blocker and download and install their software. The message also pops up when I try to view powerderburns.org
