That's ridiculous. One shopping for an ISP, without
access to the Net, is not in a position to read a
notice in a newsgroup. It makes sense that censorship
and forgery advocates would also suggest means of hiding
the truth.
Again, if an ISP were to advertise "Newsgroups censored
through forgery" -- in electronic, print and broadcast
media, or wherever advertisements are placed or material
made available to investors, then that would be "due notice".

Not quite. Most ISP's charge by the month and most give trail
subscriptions with a free month or two weeks or whatever. One shopping
for an ISP can sign up for three or four, and then cancel the lame ones.
