vital dissenting thought is already being censored by these filters
Years ago when my dog was a small puppy, I had a webcam set up in the laundry room so I could check throughout the day that he was OK. That worked great until WebSense, the filtering system that my company uses, decided to classify my puppy-cam as "adult content".
When I complained to WebSense, they did change the designation in their next update. But still, it makes me wonder just how they go about setting these classifications.
- nsns 14y agoWhile errors will always happen, the main concern, IMO, is that slowly it will become intentional and accepted. This hasn't happened yet outside certain countries. For example, we could still access Wikileaks, despite the US government's visible wrath. Let's hope it doesn't happen, although the technology probably already exists to set up "private" internet services, e.g. onion routing.
