Those involved with Free Press have compared American ISPs to brutal third world dictators, spoken of "the tyranny of AT&T", said cable and phone companies "play a parasitic and negative role... and do nothing positive", and demanded we "get rid of the media capitalists in the phone and cable companies and divest them from control." As Andrew Keen said, this is nothing but a fringe group with a radical ideology.

Vint Cerf during a debate with David Farber in 2006 said that a single user bringing a complaint against an ISP should mean the burden of proof is on the ISP. In other words, ISPs should be presumed guilty until proven innocent. While this is obviously a parody, there’s a lot of truth to it.

Sorry, after the cynical remarks of the article, I felt the need to be critical. The Bill of Rights was made up Amendments, not Articles.
