Hi, Thank you EFF for the well-written reminder: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/08/google-fiber-continues-awful-isp-tradition-banning-servers
[...] No ISP will come forward with a tighter definition of “server” because they want to give themselves leeway to ban users and technologies that they deem to be troublemakers. This strategy of making incredibly broad, vague, and one-sided contracts is deeply problematic and unfair towards users, and it's disheartening to see Google follow this well-trodden path. [...] Servers can be used in all sorts of clever ways. If the ban on running servers were lifted, ordinary Internet users would be able to do a multitude of interesting things with fewer barriers, spurring innovation. We should petition Google to get rid of this. Does anyone know if EFF planning such an action, or do you have contacts to organizational networks to get it going properly? -- Moritz Bartl https://www.torservers.net/ -- Liberationtech is a public list whose archives are searchable on Google.
