Censorship Lives

Censorship has become widespread with the release of U.S. Diplomatic cables by Wikileaks. At first it was the usual repressive governments such as China and those in the Middle East. Then the United States government through the State Department and Senator Joseph Lieberman put enormous pressure on such corporations as Mastercard, Visia, Paypal, and Amazon to stop providing services. This was follow by several universities in America warning their students not to view the Wikileaks cables.
Now this!

The U.S. Air Force has blocked employees from visiting media websites carrying leaked WikiLeaks documents, including The New York Times and the Guardian, a spokesman said on Tuesday.
Major Toni Tones, a spokeswoman at Air Force Space Command in Colorado, said the command had blocked employees whose computers are connected to the Air Force network from accessing at least 25 websites that have posted WikiLeaks documents. No complete list of websites was immediately available.
The Air Force "routinely blocks Air Force network access to websites hosting inappropriate materials or malware (malicious software) and this includes any website that hosts classified materials and those that are released by WikiLeaks," she said.
The Air Force move comes as the U.S. government seeks to minimize the damage from WikiLeaks' release of 250,000 State Department cables through media outlets and on its own website.

I’m sure those promoting censorship are hoping for a return to the McCarthy Era, Blacklists and witch hunt Congressional Hearings
