CA Parental Control Software Blocks FR as HATE site but allows DU site to go through
Computer Associates Security Center | 02/26/2010
Posted on Friday, February 26, 2010 4:03:48 PM by SeekAndFind
Folks and Friends at Free Republic
I just wanted to inform you that one of the computers I have at home has COMPUTER ASSOCIATES' SECURITY CENTER installed on it as part of the package I have with my recent Internet and cable service provider -- CABLEVISION.
This is the CA SECURITY CENTER VERSION 4.0.0.205
Now, everytime I try to access FR on this computer, it blocks me with the following reason :
URL: http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/go-button For the following reason: based on the category Category: Hate
I have to override it by entering an administrative password to temporarily allow the FR site to go through my browser.
Out of curiosity, I tried going to the DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND site and lo and behold, the CA Parental Control software ALLOWED the site with no problems.
Just wanted you people to be aware of this double standard.

Of course, irony is lost on the average freep-hole.

9. Those weirdos will NEVER see how...
...others truly view them.
It is hate. Big time.
But don't tell FR that though. Anyone who dares to speak truth to those twisted vipers, becomes an enemy or gets called names.
I'm sure they'll start some Facebook rebel group, accusing Computer Associates of being a Socialist-Fascist-Communist-Terrorist company.

That shit don't fly at DU.

21. No double standard
They allow racism, hatred and outright threats, much of which come from their own administration.

31. I hate to say it but it could backfire. My prediction is either DU will have to be blocked or FR will have to be let through.

34. Free republic openly advocates homophobia, racism, anti-semitism, and terrorism
You won't find that here. That's the difference.

40. But they don't use profanity. Assholes in that thread are arguing about why they're blocked, not us and all they can talk about is our liberal use of profanity and how profanity there gets posts deleted.
A couple of them are going at it, page after page, "I have seen curse words on FR." "No you haven't, their aren't any".
Most of the hundreds of comments are about profanity.
Not a word about hate speech.
Not surprised at their cluelessness.

41. Just do a simple google search for "****."

You get plenty of responses, though we blow them away in profanity. That's because they confuse tolerance with profanity.

38. There IS a difference.
Not all political message boards are created equal and not all boards should be considered the mirror image of the other just because one is left and one is right.
There IS a lot of genuine HATE generated on that particular board.
Period.
It's an enormous campfire, but I think I'll stop with this:

Err, it's not Republicans who want to enact a "Fairness Doctrine".

Every comment there described DU pretty well.

Is there some recreational drug that actually makes them see in others the very thing they themselves do most?

Good chance this Computer Associates Security Center has never heard of Skin's island. On the conservative side, FR is among the biggies, whereas the hatred at Skin's island is dwarfed by much, much larger sites like DailyKooks and PuffHost.
