To those who suggest the condemnation list is just random and is mere coincidental, one would suggest that you consider per the article that it is mainly conservative people on the hit list. Does computer software have political opinions? The left cries tolerance, but it is only for those who agree with them; anyone who disagrees with them is a hate group and worthy to be stoned.

Most web filtering done these days is no longer done by a black list of web sites., Usually it is done by specific keywords. Which has it’s upsides and down sides. The good thing about it, as far as filtering goes is that catches new sites that are appearing on the web each day. The down side, is that it has the potential to over filter. Because no one previews everything it filters, the code determines what is filtered. Before you jump to conclusions maybe you should try to do some research on your own, instead of being blind followers. Everyone has their own agenda to push, and twists things to make their point. So before you assume, and make an a** out of yourself. Try doing some of your own research and and get some information from both sides and then make a educated decision. You can find information on the company and their filtering from the following link: http://contentwatch.com/products/contentprotect_pro/detail/technical#filtering
I did my research maybe you should do yours!

If I have any choice whatsoever I avoid AA like a plague, but don’t blame the airline for this. Content Watch is the guilty party here. AA’s only sin here is in not keeping better track of their contractor’s activities.

No tickets ever again on American Airlines for me or my family.

My comment: “LGF, Internet Haganah, Powerline is banned by the content filter at my company. DailyKos, DU are not.” — there is a real need for someone in the blogosphere to do a more comprehensive study on which content filters are banning which sites.

Just a FYI: Pandagon, and Firedoglake are NOT blocked…. at least as of 1 month ago they weren’t. Was able to pull them up no problem (don’t ask why I was reading that crap)….

But if Hugh Hewitt is blocked, and Pandagon is NOT blocked… they have a serious liberal problem in their IT department. Since “content watch” can be configured to screen out whatever you want, we shouldn’t jump to conclusions about the company itself. True, it has a logic search that comes pre-programmed to do certain things, but those things are X, Y, and Z… not Republican, Conservative, or Christian—- although if you’re an evil secular progressive server administrator at American Airlines, achieving the latter is just a matter of typing the site, and clicking a button.

Perhaps contacting the American Airlines Club and telling them their filtering is set to be too restrictive?

This is as fine an example of ‘nanny state’ thinking as you can find on the planet. I’d suggest putting ContentWatch’s feet to the fire, as I have done. You can contact them at info@contentwatch.com. Go to http://www.contentwatch.com for additional contact information.
