Comcast dropping newsgroups...

What'll we do now? Funny too, since I've never found any child porn in
r.o.f.b.

Posted on the Comcast Forum:


The Comcast Newsgroups service, powered by Giganews has been discontinued
effective 9/17/08. Existing customers will continue to be able to access
the service until 10/25/08

This decision is in alignment with other ISP=92s that have recently
terminated their Newsgroups service due to the declining popularity of
Newsgroups as customers chose other methods, such as RSS feeds and web
browsing to access information.

While the majority of Newsgroups are safe, newsgroups have been found to be
a source of child pornography on the internet. This is just one of the
child protection measures Comcast has taken to help reduce access to child
pornography.
