Exhibit A: Fred Langa reports that “…AOL is parsing the content of its members’ emails and blocking them even if they merely *mention* a site that AOL disapproves of.”

Exhibit B:

TechDirt passes along the story of a couple in New Hampshire who claim that AOL’s AutoFix program switched their dial-up phone connection to a toll number and helped them run up a $3,400+ bill. The state’s Attorney General is on their side.

I’d switch to tin cans and string before I allowed AOL on any computer in my home or office.
