WI Capitol Blocks Pro-Union Web Site

    It's a site set-up to support protesters. It is illegal to use government resources for organizing - so no it is not part of your work.

    But on a realism note, unrated sites are blocked by content filters - then you program them to allow the traffic when someone asks or the site gets rated.

    AND -- the first amendment does not include a right to Free wi-fi. They didn't censor the site - they just didn't give free access to it.
