StopTheACLU.Com Blocked By Filtering Company

On the basis, I would presume, that it is a porn site!

After all, how else do you explain its classification as "Adult/Mature Content"?

News Bukit has the story.

So I'm sitting at my favorite Panera/St. Louis Bread Company, eating and mooching Internet. Uneventful, I know. That, of course, is not the story.

The story is that when I went to check out what was new at StoptheACLU.com, a fellow conservative blogger, I was greeted with this message from the restaurant's filtering service.

"Forbidden category," eh? I was intrigued. Blogs are a forbidden category?

Apparently not, because when I went to the SonicWALL link to have the site reconsidered, guess what I found out?

You read that right: "Adult/Mature Content." Looks like a Moonbat has been here. Maybe from StopStoptheACLU.com?

I've entered a request to get it unblocked. Click here to add your voice, too. Don't know how many of these have been locked out, but I'll update if I see any more.

I urge all of you to click the link above and request that SonicWall fix this rating, and allow the free-flow of information to its users.

UPDATE -- 1/23/2007: SonicWall will not budge, refusing to reclassify StopTheACLU.com.

Keep writing -- keep pushing -- keep supporting free speech and an end to political censorship by web-filtering companies.

UPDATE 2 --1/23/2007: On the other hand, they seem to have changed their mind, based upon this email just forwarded to me.

So I guess that persistence does pay off!

Comments on StopTheACLU.Com Blocked By Filtering Company

Thanks for the alert. I went in and added my 2 cents worth. Told them they had better not lose their credibility too! Now someone needs to look into who is behind Sonicwall!

The whole thing is just odd.

Don't they check the sites before assigning a category?

|| Posted by Rhymes With Right, January 21, 2007 05:32 PM ||

Yea! It looks like they've changed the rating. Good job!

|| Posted by Deb, January 22, 2007 12:57 AM ||

No, they haven't, Deb. I just went to them and found them listed as Adult/Mature Content, just as before.
