Apple Shows No Love For Google Voice But AT&T Takes The Hit

Google Voice - Everywhere but on your iPhone?

Google Voice - Everywhere but on your iPhone?

Earlier this week AT&T upset thousands of customers by blocking Internet access to the popular 4chan site for its DSL users, without giving any sort of notice nor clear explanation as to why. A later “nothing personal” statement that mentioned some denial-of-service attack from an IP address associated with img.4chan.org seems to have done little to lessen the anger. Having read many blog postings and social network discussions on this debacle, the general sentiment from customers seems to be “we pay for access to all ur Internets–so don’t block or censor us without our permission”.

AT&T did restore access to 4chan for its users and the issue seemed to be winding down, but now that Apple has decided to remove the much anticipated Google Voice Apps from its store, leaving many AT&T bound iPhone users disappointed, much of the rage is being directed straight upon AT&T rather than Apple itself.

One thing is for sure in all of this, now is probably not a good time to work the customer service desks at AT&T.

    And once again, it NEVER fails with the incessant lying, as lying is a way of life for these hacker creeps. I salute AT&T for blocking viruses, trojans and nasty spider scripts, as that is what the REAL truth is as to WHY AT&T has flashed the middle finger [blocked] to 4 Chan. Why should AT&T waste time and energy in dealing with viruses, trojans and uncontrollable script programs emanating from the 4 Chan site?

    I don’t condone censorship and I certainly don’t condone lies “in the name of lulz”. The only thing 4 Chan has proven again and again, is that they are infantile and violent. A bunch of two year olds who go on tirades. And just like an out of control two year old, they need some REAL hard slaps from the school of hard knocks.

    Any consequences or denial of internet access to AT&T customers due to NAZI actions emanating from 4 Chan [or any other hacker creeps for that matter], I pray that they are caught, rounded up, prosecuted beyond the extent of the law, thrown in a windowless cell and locked up forever until the day they die.

    I commend AT&T for taking the step forward and I sincerely hope that other ISP’S follow suit ASAP. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Hackers cause destruction, chaos, waste everyones time and energy. Normal people on the net are SICK AND TIRED of these two year old tantrum antics that 4 Chan displays on a daily basis. These hacker creeps really and truly need to GROW THE F*** UP.
