ISP threatens to unplug web hoster for offensive content

MCI Canada, an ISP owned by the large American ISP Verizon, has threatened to cut off a Canadian web-hosting service, www.epifora.com, for breach of Verizon's Acceptable Use Policy. The alleged breach has to do with Epifora's hosting of sites such as boychat, and girlchat, sites described by the owners as "self help message boards for minor-attracted adults". Epifora.com states that it has not been charged with any criminal offence, and is challenging the impending action as unjustified interference with free speech and network neutrality.
