[morkinva]

As seen on FW, lookie here -- if true this is very uncool. Where to complain ?

Just read this in the Detroit Free Press. Man, I'm one of those Detroit customers that they have already begun to track. I'm seriously considering dropping comcast and finding a new ISP because of this:| I mean it's one thing if they would have told us beforehand:|

Do you know what this means???
Somewhere, Comcast is sitting on the world's most complete directory of internet pr0n!

I think they're punks for doing this, but Comcast was a bunch of bastards to begin with....

I'd be finding a new isp too, I don't like the sounds of this at all, sigh AT&T will probably be next at pulling this kind of garbage.

eh.... other than looking at kiddie pr0n (which i know none of you do.....er nevermind) what do you have to worry about? seriously. That you're straight? Gay? Lesbian? Have fetishes? Who cares. Unless you're looking up ways to destroy the earth, or commite a crime, it's no big deal.

But I do agree that it is infringing upon your right to your privacy. Which should (or i think is?) one of your freedoms. Yes, F*ck comcast for doing it it's none of their business, but.... i don't think it's anything too serious... unless someone wants to find out about you personally.

If you use Comcast cable modem this should cause concern:

to contact Comcast:

Comcast is doing this in several states and cities. They plan to roll this out behind all their customers backs.
