CABLEVISION SAYS FREE REPUBLIC IS A "HATE SITE"

Posted on 03/18/2010 2:54:41 PM PDT by 101voodoo

While downloading and installing (for my daughter) the free security suite offered by Cablevision to their subscribers, I noticed something which really annoyed me.

In setting up the configuration I chose to have the warning for objectionable sites activated. After I completed the configuration on all the aspects of the security suite I decided to go to the FR and see what was going on to begin the day. After typing the name in the search and punching go, I immediately was blocked by a pop up informing me that Free Rep was not available as it was a "hate site" and would require a password over ride. Amazed, I then entered "Democrat Underground" and after that "Daily Kos" and was allowed to navigate to those sites.

Those of you with Cablevision may want to do as I did and call customer service with a threat to cancel immediately all services if their parental control portion of the security suite is not immediately modified to remove FR as a "hate" site.

Brussel sprouts?! You hate them?

They are perhaps the FINEST veggie on the face of this planet. They are the reason we are visited by aliens. Here to steal our brussel sprouts!

I agree that everyone with Cablevision should check to see whether or not the same happens to them, and if it does, they should immediately besiege Cablevision and demand that they stop this sort of illicit political propagandizing and go back to being a services-provider, not a branch of the federal nanny-service.

Why tell some flunkie your problem? It won't get passed up to those who make the calls. Just cancel. Go with a different company.

I guess you’ve never been on a homosexual or illegal alien thread. I’m not saying FR is a hate site but there are enough people making comments that could be construed as hateful that it is, IMO, almost impossible to defend against that kind of accusation. You don’t even have to go to that extreme. Look at some of the “caption this pic” threads.

FR is the kid of website it’s mods, owner and participants want.

I don’t hate people. I hate their collective/marxist ideologies. Those people are bent on destroying America as we know it.

Is this a case of slander or libel?

What are the chances that the sore loser ex-Governor owns stock in Cablevision? Or how about George Soros? Someone who knows how to do it should find out who’s on the mgmt and shareholders of Cablevision. That dog will hunt.

Shareholders and Boards will take more time. The officers didn't know them but it's the shareholders who started this libel/slander imo.

BINGO. George Soros is an investor in Cablevision. Numerous links including a youtube “what is George Soros investing in”. George Soros’ money is the real POTUS.

George Soros investor. There you go. Now you have some ammo to back you up. It must be illegal to restrict access to the internet for political reasons. They do that in China do they not?

Here’s your answer. After divorcing Joanne Dougherty, Jon Corzine canoodled with a Ms. Katz who was with COMMUNICATION WORKERS OF AMERICA union. I haven’t googled Katz. My work is done here. I’m leaning to this union chick hating FR and probably Fox News too. This is a union attempt to control the internet IMO.

The Union threw Katz under the bus eventually after Corzine had.

Here is the union’s blog. If they hate free republic, it’s probably on their blog.
