U.S. Gov Agency Blunders With Keyword Blacklist
Anonymous Submitter writes "There's an interesting CNet article which highlights a report released by the OpenNet Initiative. The report examines how "a U.S. government agency charged with fighting Iranian and Chinese Internet censorship is quietly censoring the Web itself". Among some of the sites this U.S. agency accidentally blocks are breastcancer.com, teens.drugabuse.gov, several gay rights websites, and even usembassy.state.gov. Some of the members of the group who prepared this report were responsible for a previous Slashdot discussion entitled "Academics Take On Government Net Censorship". The report raises questions about the potential inaccuracy of proprietary and other secretive filtering mechanisms: who should be responsible for ensuring their accuracy?"
Gotta agree here. I have friends that are in the military and I can definitely say the military wasn't bettered by thier presence. All I can think of when I hear "army" is a line of borderline rapists waiting thier turn with the Thai twelve-year-olds. Makes you wonder just how bad the world hates our military if we wouldn't trust many of them ourselves (like you said, especially the younger ones). Whatever happened to "the service" ... now its like "the serviced"
