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 02/26/2010 4:03:48 PM PST 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.

I read what I knew you meant. I didn’t notice the grammar error until you pointed it out.

Understand and agree!

Have a great day! I’m soon off to the Hershey Bears hockey game!

As ‘Badger’ Bob Johnson liked to say, “It’s a great day for hockey!!!”

Outrageous that FR would be considered a hate site.

I do object to profanity, which has become more common here with the huge influx of new Freepers. Perhaps we should be pushing the abuse button.

Oh oh! I just saw the title of the thread and posted. Didn’t realize how long it was until afterwards.

I stand by my ‘anti-profanity’ words and have a link to a long ago thread that the Mods posted about it.

I was only teasing. I said that I have seen profanity on FR and I was raked over the coals for it. The whole thread devolved into that discussion. If you are interested read through the thread. :)

It may be racism, sexism, stolen valor, or some other injustice. Each of us has our own opportunity and obligation to speak up.

It didn't take long to go there.

You women always take things the wrong way, but that's a whole other thread.

Now he's off shilling for McCain and bashing JD Hayworth. Definitely a disruptor troll.

Yes! I’ve been reading since you posted, will have to continue reading through it.

I see profanity here every single day. Didn’t used to be that way.

I don’t know are you? You were nasty to her. You have only been snarky to me.

Amazing, huh?

I didn't like that nite nite stuff. Like I was being dismissed. I try to be friends but when someone is snarky...I get snarky back. I have seen more profanity lately then usual. I even said I put !@# for certain letters. I am trying not too. But my temper gets the worst of me I am afraid.

Actually it was you that tried to smear me by implying that I was lying to make FR look bad and that I was from the DU. But you can keep playing the innocent victim if you like.

Not only are they claiming that there is no profanity but if you have seen profanity you must be from the DU. Lol!

Well it seems there are several little areas of FR irrationality (that sometimes turn into hostility) and those things lay around like little land mines, looks like you just tripped one of them my dear, so sorry!~ ;-)

No problem. Some rational FRiends came to my defense!
