Default TSA blocks web content

TSA To Block Websites With “Controversial Opinions”

In what seems to be one of the biggest attempts to censor the internet, the Transportation Security Administration has deemed it necessary to censor from their computers any website that might have a controversial opinion (which could include this website).

From InfoWars.Com:
The Transportation Security Administration will block all websites that contain “controversial opinion” from its federal computers in the latest example of how Internet censorship is expanding in both the private and public sector as the federal government prepares to push through a power grab that will empower President Obama to shut down the world wide web with an emergency decree.

“The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is blocking certain websites from the federal agency’s computers, including halting access by staffers to any Internet pages that contain a “controversial opinion,” according to an internal email obtained by CBS News.”

The new rules came into force on July 1, and prevent TSA employees from accessing such content, though what is deemed “controversial opinion” is not explained. Undoubtedly, the ban list will include websites which specialize in criticism of the government and federal agencies.
We have known for years that the government has talked about the possibility of censoring the internet to thwart opinion, but this is the biggest it has ever gotten. The TSA feels it needs to protect its employees and shut them out from any other opinion that will probably damage the reputation of the TSA...and it is not like they have a good one anyway.

We now that times are troubling when acts like this are taking place. When will we be able to get back to the way things use to be....or when people actually had the freedom to make sound decisions for themselves and not have some government tell them how it should be?
