Politech is the oldest Internet resource devoted to politics and technology. Launched in 1994 by Declan McCullagh, the mailing list has chronicled the growing intersection of law, culture, technology, and politics. Since 2000, so has the Politech web site.

Websense reportedly blocks Foxnews.com (but not CNN) as "advocacy" group

This reminds me of an article Brock Meeks and I wrote almost a decade ago:

We reported that CyberPatrol blocked a National Rifle Association site 
but not the Brady Campaign.

Websense is now blocking foxnews.com as an advocacy group.  I really
don't have any comment about this, except that cnn, msnbc, etc. are
not blocked at all except for their sports sections.

I have attached a screenshot.
