“You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.”
- Winston Churchill

We Have Tons of Articles!

Want to see them all? Click on this Stop Blog Censorship! category link to view all of our articles about blog censorship and how to combat it, starting with the newest.

Our articles are filled with practical information about what to do if your blog is being blacklisted via censorware.

We also track instances of hacking, threats, and other efforts to muzzle freedom of expression in the blogosphere.

There’s been a real problem lately with people maliciously making false reports to “censorware” providers, so as to inhibit access to conservative blogs, especially those that discuss counter-terrorism issues. We are also greatly concerned with other censorship issues, including the recent examples of fatwas and other threats made against bloggers for publishing political cartoons.

FAQ

• “Why are counterterrorist/antijihadist blogs under attack?”
  • We are exposing some truly evil people, and they are fighting back. That’s to be expected.
  • If you doubt that our adversaries mean business, put your ears on and listen to Foehammer’s 9/21/07 podcast.
• “What about terrorist propaganda and training sites?
  I am in favor of censoring those!”
  • So are we! After all, we are at war, and we are entirely in favor of taking down enemy propaganda and other communications. These include, but are not limited to, terrorist training and recruitment videos. Such communications are not covered by any Constitutional or other legal protections for free speech. We want them taken down entirely, not merely blocked by censorware!
  • At the same time, we work to uphold (or restore) the U.S. Constitutional protections for speech, press, assembly, and petition, and to uphold (or restore) similar protections in other parts of the world.
  • Our jihadist enemies have no lack of computer savvy. They are constantly attempting to game the system in various ways, so as to interfere with access to legitimate, constructive political speech in the US, the EU, and elsewhere – particularly counterterrorist and antijihadist speech – often under the guise of “political correctness.” At the same time, they abuse the system – sometimes by hacking, spamming, or vandalizing our websites and blogs – to get their own messages out at our expense!
  • The bottom line: We must reclaim control over our own avenues of communication.
  • If you want to help get jihadist videos taken down, please visit the following link:

  • More details here:
    Hankering to go after some bad guys?
• “How do I report a problem with YouTube?”
  • YouTube is part of Google, and its management has often been criticized for bias. YouTube has taken down videos that criticize anything having to do with Islam or Muslims, and has allowed overt jihadist propaganda, recruitment, and terrorist training videos to remain available.
  • Let YouTube know what YOU think! Click here for the YouTube contact form.
• “What is censorware, and how does it work?”
  • For a brief introduction, see Tell Panera Bread and SonicWALL to Stop Censoring Foehammer’s Anvil!
• “How do I find out if my site is blacklisted?”
  • You can check your site’s URL with each of the major censorware vendors.
  • See Censorware is Outta Control! (Calling All Cyberwarriors) for what to do.
• “What’s with Panera Bread and SonicWALL?”
  • Panera Bread offers a public WiFi in its stores, but with a major catch. They use SonicWALL censorware to blacklist a vast range of sites, including many of the blogs that provide news that you can’t get anywhere else.
  • See our Panera Bread and SonicWALL articles for regular updates on this topic.
  • Also be sure to read Jihad Watch Unblocked, including the comments accompanying that article. If necessary, other bloggers who have been wrongfully blacklisted by SonicWALL or other censorware providers should do as Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch did, and consult an attorney!
• “I’m having trouble with Google Blogger!”
  • You aren’t the first! If your blog is locked out or malfunctioning, it may be an attempt at censorship, or it may be just plain old bugs. Our articles can help you figure it out.
  • Click here for our Blogger.com articles.
  • Our Reference Material page shows how to contact Google about Blogger issues.
• “My website has received a ‘takedown request’ – what should I do?”
  • If someone has asked – or demanded – that you take down an article from your blog or website, your first step should be to verify that the “takedown request” is legitimate and is not a bogus request coming from a troll or prankster. (See Musings of Wired Pig 2.1: Takedown Request (Updated) for an example.)
  • Be aware of any laws that may apply to the material that you are being asked to remove. If you determine that the takedown request is from a legitimate source, but you believe that the request is unjustified, you would be well advised to consult an attorney.
• “My Wikipedia article has been vandalized!”
  • Our Reference Material page has that covered also.
• “I am unable to access a Bible!”
  • Our Download page contains downloadable Bibles and links to other sites.
• “I’m being sued by an Islamist organization!”
  …or…
  “I’m being threatened with arrest and prosecution for blogging!”
  • Yes, we’re tracking that issue too! We suggest that you start by finding a good attorney. If necessary, set up a legal defense fund for others to contribute to your defense.
  • Be sure to contact us so that we can post information about the lawsuit on 1389 Blog.
  • More articles about Litigation Jihad.
  • British government attempts to silence intrepid British blogger Lionheart.
• “I’ve been banned from Digg!”
  • Digg is a world of its own, and not a pleasant one. If your Digg user ID, your blog domain, or your IP address has been banned from Digg, you must be doing something right!
  • These articles discuss censorship and other problems on Digg, as well as alternatives to Digg.
  • Here’s what Foehammer has to say about Digg.
  • Tex and Jenn’s research shows why Digg’s management is not on our side.
  • The Fort Hard Knox team weighs in on censorship.
• “What about hackers, spammers, trolls, cyberstalkers, and vandals?”
  • Take regular backups, use spam filters on your blog, and use antivirus and antispyware products on your own computer.
  • The more traffic you get, the more important it is to moderate your comments.
  • “Reverend” Jim Sutter wants to bully us all out of existence.
  • Foehammer’s MySpace page was deleted without authorization.
  • GM’s Corner has been hacked.
  • Are jihadists visiting your blog? Good blog statistics will tell you!
  • Our Reference Material page shows how to report suspicious persons and activities, including suspected terrorist activities, both on and off the Web.
• “Are there any proxies or other ways to get around censorware?”
  • We have run across some websites that offer information about proxy services, or provide links to sites that do. (See “Other Sources of Information” below.) However, we have not tested these methods ourselves, so we are not in a position to recommend any specific software, service, or method. Nor can we guarantee that your efforts to get around the censorware will be undetected by the censorware firm or your local system administrators.
  • Be sure to use an up-to-date source! Censorware firms change and adapt their methods to ward off any attempts to get around the firewall. If you want to try using a proxy, get your information and your software from the most up-to-date sources that you can find.
  • Keep in mind that these workarounds do not address the real problem of blog censorship. You might be willing and able to set up proxies so that you can continue to read all of your favorite blogs. But if your blog is being blocked by censorware firms over much of the world, how many other people will take the same effort and risk to get to your blog? The fact is that only a tiny fraction of your potential audience will have courage, the know-how, and the opportunity to set up proxies and use them to read your blog in secret somewhere. This will not propagate your blog’s message to the general public, most of whom haven’t seen your blog and don’t know why it might be worth their trouble to read it!
