i would have no issues with sites and blogs that are consumer oriented. that fight for the consumers. and not the corporates. the blog being discussed here runs direct sponsorship from telecom companies. this is generally not a problem but when you see them write positive things about their sponsors comparing to other companies, you do get a feeling that something is not right. and then, i have never really seen any attempt from them to criticize the mobile companies for their crappy 3G plans and ISPs for their crappy broadband plans. i am not a regular reader so i might have missed it. but the overall i feel get from them is that they would rather focus on pleasing companies than take on the various causes for the general public. my personal opinion and that affects the moderation rules here. i would NOT block links to mainstream media, original sources of information and so on. like it or not... moderation happens on pretty much every site where community is allowed to post content. some are very strict. some are not so strict. i just apply some stuff i believe in.
