Giganews helping to censor the internet   
I just read the latest UK 2007 Internet Watch Foundation report, an  
organisation
whose job is to censor the internet while claiming they are
getting rid of "child porn" and "racism", but the truth is that
this IWF does not make public the list of sites they are taking down and  
censoring,
so it could be anything because a picture of a cartoon is "child porn" to  
them.

The 2007 IWF report (available on their site) has Giganews in between the  
sponsors names, it is
time we got rid of all companies that support censorship, starting by  
Giganews Usenet provider,
funny enough the only Usenet provider that has its name in between the  
sponsors so dozens of others
to choose from.

In a dim and distant universe ,
   Sharon  enlightened us thusly:

You'll find that most ISPs in the UK buy their news from Giganews, as it
costs huge resources to maintain your own news servers.

We buy our main newsfeed from Giganews, and they've never told us anything
about censorship. We have the full list of newsgroups carried, available to
download as a text file, from
http://www.orpheusinternet.co.uk/support/news.html

We also implement our own local newsgroups, mainly for support issues but
could in theory create newsgroups on any topics.

I shall however be checking up on Giganews policies on censoring newsgroups.
