U.S. Lists Web Sites as Terrorist Organizations

Posted by timothy on from the and-declan's-an-isp dept.

mgcsinc writes "The United States for the first time has placed a web site on the list where it normally places terrorist groups such as Al Qaeda, placing several conditions on Americans' interactions with the website. Certainly, few could challenge the latest addition, but how could this ability to effectively squelch internet speech be used by the government with less valid rationale in the future?"

    to more censorship. Next target : kerneli.org for providing cryptoapi and cryptoloop for Linux. Then, gnu.org for providing gpg and emacs (you can write terrorist letters with emacs). Then www.delta.com for providing cheap flights that terrorists can hijack, then slashdot.org for linking to them all.

    What next? public book burning?

    USia, the land of free speech ... riiight ...

    I notice quite a lot of people up in arms over the free speech aspects of this. So I have to assume you guys are all ok with anti-abortion internet websites listing doctor's home address and encouraging people to kill them right?
