Oh, they will. /b/ is not to be trifled with.

@ Masterz:
You may not like /b/, but this is the first step towards them censoring anything they want. Someone is publishing stuff which AT&T doesn't want you to hear about? They get blacklisted. Competitor websites (Verizon, for example)? Blacklisted.
Give them an inch, and they'll take a mile.

messing with the internet hate machine on their internet?
it's more likely than you think actually, it was quite inevitable, owell, go 4chan

No, it's not. If this is allowed to continue, they'll start blocking other sites we don't hate.

Really, all the internet needs to do in order to convince AT&T that they're being idiots is to send them a bunch of e-mails that they're changing services due to the implications of this blacklisting. If they're threatened with a large enough loss of potential profits, they'll pull back.
