Exhibit A: Fred Langa reports that “…AOL is parsing the content of its members’ emails and blocking them even if they merely *mention* a site that AOL disapproves of.”
Exhibit B:
TechDirt passes along the story of a couple in New Hampshire who claim that AOL’s AutoFix program switched their dial-up phone connection to a toll number and helped them run up a $3,400+ bill. The state’s Attorney General is on their side.
I’d switch to tin cans and string before I allowed AOL on any computer in my home or office.
So, are you suggesting that Jerry Stiller should have let the couple on the commercial finish the fish mosaic with the AOL9 Sloptimized disk?
Two words: skeet shooting.
