Hey Mwood -- you were right on the money!
Do you want a third party determining what you can or cannot view? Since Secure Computing is not the end user of these web sites what right do they have in setting policies for other entities as to what is acceptable and what is not? And then they implement their decision without informing the end users of what they did. I applaud DS on fighting to get her site unblocked. This nannyism of our lives is getting out of hand.
It is also funny how the sites being blocked are all right wing...
The definition of H/D web sites used by Secure Computing is
"
Hate/Discrimination (hs)
Web pages that provide information that would encourage the oppression of a specific group of individuals. This includes promoting, explicitly or implicitly, an agenda against groups based on race, religion, nationality, gender, age, disability, or sexual orientation. Political parties with a specific hate-based agenda may be included. If involving jokes or humor, the focus of the entire site must be considered hateful or discriminatory to fall under this category."
Funny how HuffingtonPost, Daily Kos, Free Mumia, etc are OK, but Atlasshrugged, Debbie Schlussel, Ann Coulter,etc are not...
Could somebody have an agenda here?
