Stop Blog Censorship!

We are receiving e-mails right and left (no, actually, they’re all from the “right,” but anyway…) advising that one anti-jihad site after another has been misclassified by various censorware companies, with the end result being that the readers of those blogs are unable to access the blogs from various schools, places of employment, and wi-fi hotspots.

The problem is complicated by the fact that once we manage to get the sites classified correctly, someone comes along and requests the companies to change the classifications back to something like “violence/hate/racism,” and we have to start over.

WE NEED HELP – YOUR FELLOW BLOGGERS NEED YOUR HELP.

Most of these site have a page you can visit to test a url (web address) to see if it’s been blocked. 1389′s been collecting those, and they are listed below. We have also listed below a list of url’s that have been having recurring problems. (If we’ve missed anyone, please let us know in the comments.)

This is easy, but very important: Simply go to the various test pages, enter the url for your favorite blog, and follow the directions to have it reclassified as something like “media,” or “political advocacy,” as appro.

Here are the censorware test pages:

• SurfControl
• SonicWALL
• Barracuda
• SmartFilterWhere
• Contact SafeSurf using the information below.
