Jim Lippard TrackBacks on Matt Stoller
Posted in An interesting trackback came in on my entry:
Sam Harrelson on The Tragedy of Net Neutrality
From Jim Lippard:
Matt Stoller lies about site blocking
Matt Stoller has a post up at MyDD dated June 14 titled (with ironic accuracy) “Please lie to me about Net Neutrality” in which he gives the following as an example of unwarranted site blocking that shows the need for net neutrality regulations:
Jim’s round-up and updates are a worthy and eye-opening read.
I urge you to explore it further.
Excerpt from Lippard:
UPDATE: Timothy Karr of Save the Internet has jumped on this bogus bandwagon on his Media Citizen blog as well as on the Save the Internet blog (already linked above with the “others have pointed out” text) and at the Free Press Action HQ blog. At the last source, Karr was clearly already informed of the cause of the issue, as he links to this fairly clear explanation from Authentium, in which the Authentium CEO, John Sharp, says that they immediately contacted Craigslist.org and made a beta fix available to their customers (including Cox customers) within a couple of weeks. For no reason I can see, Karr describes this by saying that “The CEO at the ’security software’ company in question is equally opaque about the Craigslist blocking.” What’s opaque about the explanation, and why does he put “security software” in quotes–to suggest that this is malicious blocking?
