Boycott SmartFilter

I hope none of my frequent visitors (Hi Mom! Hi Martin! Hi Terry!) are using the filtering/censorship services of Secure Computing because I'm hoping to get the site added to their black list. If you don't know what's going on with Secure's SmartFilter filtering service, here's a good place to read about it. And here. Here too.

I understand that people want to try to stop their kids/employees/cult followers etc. from finding (accidentally or not) porn, auctions, dating, poker or whatever other kinds of sites you think will ruin their lives/productivity/spiritual purity on Kool-Aid Day. But SmartFilter isn't a very good way to go about it. Because it's not smart. It's dumb. And it sucks balls.
