Websense, an Internet filtering program, has just
expanded their control of information in the U.S. by
not allowing blogs and social networking at hundreds
of public libraries, colleges and universities across
the country. Saudi Arabia, Yemen and China have also
used Websense to prevent "blogging" and social
networking in their countries. We can not get to any
blog on blogspot.com from our college without
triggering our filters. This move comes at a time when
upcoming election are a hot topic on these blogs. If
you are not familiar with Websense Wikipedia has an
excellent entry.
