   Apparently there's so much traffic on the list that jokes are clogging it up.  I understand that a special lane has been established for this bandwidth-hogging activity:

         Hey. It's going to be like #bringbackourgirls because Twitter hashtags are an effective strategy in getting governments that are inept or clueless to go up against terrorist organisations.

                      Here in the US, the FCC is proposing new rules that would allow ISPs to discriminate against internet traffic based on content.  This would allow, for instance, a recent deal between Netflix and Comcast in which Comcast deliberately slows down Netflix traffic to paying customers unless Netflix also pays Comcast.

                      I want an internet where access doesn't depend on corporate bribes, and I'll bet you do too.  With an extended network of millions, hackerspaces are in a great place to have a real influence on this before the FCC kills net neutrality.
