Old Maxims Make True
Remember the old maxim to believe something only after it has been officially denied? It seems that Alex Jones' site prisonplanet was censored by AOL-TimeWarner and some other British based media companies as proliferating hate material. Anybody who has ever been to his site will know there is no hate material to be found. Most of the material there is taken from major media outlets with some conspiracy (not as much as you might imagine) mixed in for thought provocation.
You may not like what ideas the guy has, but blocking him for hate is just reaching beyond the believable.Time Warner's ISP, Road Runner, has blocked access to all of Alex Jones' flagship websites across the entire United States.
We were first alerted to this problem early this morning when several locals in Austin reported that they were unable to access Infowars.com, PrisonPlanet.com or Prison Planet.tv.
Austin Time Warner had previously shut down access to our websites on a whim, claiming they were 'hate material' but in all cases had quickly restored them after receiving complaints.

Yep, it's disgusting.
I'm with Time Warner, so I called and asked the random tech support person what the deal is with the outage. He attributed it to some major 'router restructuring' and that AOL Time Warner does not participate in any type of online censorship.
Indeed.
I will discontinue my account with Road Runner if this continues for another full day. I have zero tolerance for such things!

At least in the future, due to their customers outrage, this might give them pause before engaging in such activity.
