I’ve tried using an anonymizer, no go. The site is down, not blocked, as far as I can tell.

Now that is most disturbing. Anyone else seeing this? I guess waiting for the PR person to get back to me … well maybe I won’t wait.

Well it seems Rogers is blocking access to the protest site is you happen to have them as an ISP or the ISP you use has a Rogers backbone. If you use a proxy server you can visit the site if not then 403 error is displayed. Good to see censorship is thriving in Canada and that corporates like Rogers are allowed to get away with it. Thin end of the wedge here people…

To say that I’m incensed is putting it mildly. I’ve been screaming about Rogers all week at my blog, but this has sent me over the top.

I, for one (and hopefully one of many, many) will NOT BE BUYING an iPhone, and *will* be paying the ECF and ending my contract with Rogers early. (26 months early, as a matter of fact)

Who needs an iPhone *that* badly? Not me. I’m done being screwed, and I’m going to protest with my business.
