Censorship By Hardware and Cloud Companies

I hope some of you providers are buying stock in some of the cloud and router companies. Apparently some seem to think that they have the right to control the content that you choose to access by deliberately tying their products that you already own to their own cloud service and disabling the product or your access if you violate their terms of service such as accessing with their routers or storing porn on their cloud service.

Think it's time to start buying Chinese no name products without user agreements.

I heard about this a while ago with cloud services but wasn't aware it had crept into routers. Terrible.

sounds like cisco have just fucked themselves in the ass with the residential consumer base ...lol shame ..
