Weird historical detail. Sprint was covered by common carrier regulations which our legal team basically interpreted as we couldn’t block anything based on content (simplified). We had a lot of emergency meetings to be able to shut down C&S. We had to establish they were causing reliability problems. A bit of a stretch to be honest, but… we did pull the plug.
But for example it meant we carried all of alt.binaries #iykyk in spite of some dubious content, but we could at least limit storage to a shorter time period than we kept for text groups.

Hangout, discover and support awesome independent artists. Mutually motivate and lift one another up.
Don't miss #iykyk happenings and future "memes" like:
