SiteCoach Confesses to Being an Illegal Internet Content Filter
5 03 2007Illegal for public institutions for use.
Because SiteCoach specifically states that it’s out to censor certain types of political content, then SiteCoach cannot be used in public institutions (schools, libraries). Political content is specifically (”fully”) protected speech. Also, since SiteCoach says out and out right that they censor right-wing sites, then using SiteCoach at a public library or school could also violate the Federal 14th Amendment.
As you know, the Council of Conservative Citizens has recently become very interested in public libraries’ web censorship, and will soon become interested in public schools doing the same.
