The Vetted

The 13 "geek Illuminati" who control the fate of the Internet.

Supposedly, there are 13 members of the Vetted, a group that has the ultimate power to get ISPs to remove a Web site from existence. Do they even exist? We're not sure, because all the references we can find to them refer back to one Wired article.

Editorial note: Whoa! You've found a super-old post here on BuzzFeed, from an earlier era of the site. It doesn't really represent where we are anymore, and may in fact be totally broken, but we're leaving it up as a part of our early history.
