Censorship

Journal slayermet420's Journal: Censorship at its best 1

I'm an active duty US Marine, and wanted to report on the wonderful censorship of the Marine Corps. I'm currently writing this article at work, on Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, in San Diego, CA.

I was trying to log into the internet radio site Pandora when I recieved this message:

Headquarters Marine Corps Command, Control, Communications & Computers

You have attempted to access a site which has been blocked in accordance with Marine Corps and DoN policy governing the appropriate use of government information systems.

For more information, or if you believe you have received this notice in error, please contact your local Information Assurance Manager (IAM).

The links are to Marine Corps Administrative Message 162/00 and Department of the Navy Effective Use Of Dept Of Navy Information Technology Resources Memo, respectively.

The strange thing is that I've used Pandora at work, on multiple occasions, as recently as a few months ago.

Any opinions?
