I got a note today from a friend that he can’t visit the Veg Blog from his job at a New Jersey school district because they use SonicWALL Content Filtering, which results in this when they try to load the site:
I tell ya! You never want to let those impressionable students access something as controversial as information about vegetarianism! I sent an e-mail to Sonicwall, so we’ll see if they take any action.
Just another reason why Internet filtering software is a total waste.
