sports or shopping, and apparently political activism too. (Here are some of the categories

another thing to worry about or route around. <o:p></o:p></p>

that PTO turned the thing off shortly after becoming aware of it. Second, I assume that you’re not aware of some of the relevant facts and law, rather than that you’re ignoring them.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

purpose, it’s only purpose, was to block access to terrorist sites and similar. (Some of that is required by US law, whether that’s a good or bad law is not something I plan on discussing here.) How any of the blacklisted sites could be found to be terrorist
sites is incomprehensible. This was never supposed to be a pretty standard filter.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
