I've supported FreePress in their effort for net neutrality, but this is getting ridiculous. My response to the email I received announcing the initiative:<p>I've got an issue with this. Censorship may be one of the capabilities of the technology described in the patent, but it isn't the only item. Just because the tech COULD be used for something doesn't mean it should be wholly opposed. There are many reasonable uses of the technology that could make phones easier to use and more interactive.<p>Not only that, but you're opposing a patent application here. They aren't actually proposing addition of this technology to any of their products. You'd be better off opposing patents in general then attempting to stop a single application. Of late I've become wary of the causes FreePress is choosing to become involved in. This is a waste of time, energy, and attention. The more obvious attempts at blatant headline fodder and the more ridiculous your claims, the more you alienate me personally and I'm sure there are many others feeling the same way. Your original goals were great, free and open internet for everyone. Support net neutrality and free information flow.<p>This isn't related to either of those.
