CENSORWARE: Slashdot reports that Symantec's Internet Security 2004 is blocking pro-gun sites across the board. I've used Internet Security in the past, but I guess I'll be looking elsewhere. Pathetic. And here's a good point from the Slashdot post:

My rather informal test still raises the spectre that a large corporate entity may be clandestinely trying to sway you or your child's political views by censoring content from one side of a political debate. This is indeed chilling, especially considering that such software is required to be used in libraries to protect children.

Indeed.
