Canadian ISP Blocks Web Sites They Don't Like
An AC sends: "In response to the printing of the URL of an inappropriate web site on a series of safety-tip trading cards handed out to elementary students in New Brunswick, Canada, the provinces' major ISPs decided to take matters into their own hands, and block access to the web site for all their customers: school, government, and... private individuals. A spokesman for the phone company NBTel says "Once they've [the RCMP] given us the okay that there is nothing illegal on the web site we'll just turn it back up." . The printing of such a site on the card was apparently unintentional, as it was designed by children. Just no one seems to have thought to check it out before it was printed. Here you can see the
CBC News Story." This is the third Canada-vs-website story in the last couple of days. Something in the water?
