Stop Blog Censorship!

This in from Jack Lail, who has been removed from the “pornography” category at SonicWall, and correctly placed in the “31.Web Communications.” We also had a very informative comment from Blackflag on yesterday’s update, that is worth re-posting here (Thank you, Blackflag):

I administer both a Websense console and a Surfcontrol console. The company provided default “black lists” for both of these products can be “gamed” by savy administrators. In addition to the automatic updates by Websense that block known malware sites and such administrators can submit sites to the list or apply to have sites already in the list recategorized. A site like LGF can go from existing in the “news” category (allowed) to the “hate speech” category (blocked) fairly easily. I seriously doubt it’s evidence of a malicious move by Websense, they are typically a very professional organization in my experience and should respond to requests by Charles Johnson to have LGF moved back into a benign category. It’s dirty pool, but it’s how the Left plays the game, “Free Speech for me but not for Thee” and all that.
