I personally run multiple nodes in a wi-fi cloud. Many have enjoyed it's availability but since the majority of people in this nation have CHOSEN to keep their heads in the sand over legislation such as this which only erodes freedoms of privacy and in "being secure in our persons"... AND, since so many seem to be in favor of this bill... this is for you...

I am going to DISMANTLE all of my nodes. Those of you who just happened to have used it in the past will not find it operational any longer. Until people stop yacking and talking and get involved with government in a very real way so as to prevent unconstitutional and freedom-undermining slop, you don't deserve the free services I've offered in the past.

The issue isn't about fighting pedophilia. The issue is about making innocent people who provide FREE services (which are paid for with their own money by the way) GUILTY for the activities of others.

None of you deserve wi-fi coverage in your daily travels. It's time for other wi-fi providers to follow my lead and just shut it all down. The people of this nation don't deserve it one iota.

I'm pulling the plug. HEAR THAT GOVERNMENT? I have the right, as one who has provided free services, to refuse in continuing in providing free services. Perhaps that's what your goal is actually! And rightfully, the sheep of this nation deserve government they receive and it's results. Stick it to them, HARD!!! You now have my blessing.

Sounds like the politicians are very worried about pictures of their illicit activities with minors spreading unchecked on the internet.
