Net Nanny

I'm posting (today only, I hope) from a public computer in a hotel accessible to any and all guests. Because the hotel doesn't know who's going to be surfing the net on the machine and how easily offended they might be, I guess it only makes sense to have some sort of blocking software activated. This computer, as I've discovered, uses Net Nanny to block potentially offensive sites. In the process of preventing me from looking at Internet porn, however, Net Nanny has also blocked me from seeing Slate.com and some particular story at Think Progress, although when I just tried again to get the main site, it let me (because the browser crashed when I tried to pull up a PDF for my last post, I couldn't find the specific Think Progress page that was blocked). The message Net Nanny gives when it blocks a site is: "This area of the Internet is inappropriate for you to access." So if any of you are regular Slate or Think Progress readers, you might want to rethink the appropriateness of your activity.
