From my ally over at the 1389blog.com:
We have won one battle!
An Anvil Victory against Censorship: a Victory for All confirms that SonicWALL and Panera Bread will no longer be censoring Foehammer’s Anvil. 1389 would like to thank all of you who participated in this effort.
But the war is far from over.
“The war is far from over? What’s that supposed to mean?”
It means that this is not the time for us to rest.

I just checked the Jihad Watch category at Surf Control.
It now shows “Blogs & Forums”

Also, if any of your readers find out about any more locations and/or censorware companies that are blocking Foehammer’s Anvil or other antijihadist sites, please let us know so that we can get something done about it!
Thanks to you and all your readers who have helped with this effort!

Censors are typically private companies that create software for use by businesses and private individuals who pay for its use. This usage is almost always done only with the consent of such businesses and does not affect most home users, unless they should choose to make use of such software themselves.
So, more than likely, no persons living in a free nation are experiencing such censorship in the comfort of their own homes, but if you’re out and about with a laptop and at the mercy of Wi Fi wireless at the local coffee shop, it just might be happening.
The movement is really out there to silence western citizens. One Muslim poster at Faith Freedom left this message :
“ISLAM WILL RULE THE WORLD WHEN ONE DAY U ROT IN HELL!”
And there’s much worse posted there than that.
Comforting! Bout time every freedom loving person in North America woke up to the masquerade of Islam and not give one inch. As a matter of fact what has been given in to, needs to be reversed.
As for Surf Control, lets all keep requesting Jihad Watch be re-categorized! The Anvil is still categorized there as “Blogs & Forums”, thankfully.
No doubt some loser will twist my words around to fit their racist agenda and smear me. But as Steely Dan likes to sing, I aint quite as dumb as I seem.
Its an up hill battle Ladies and Gentlemen. We are behind the curve, they have infiltrated us and we must begin fighting back with everything we have with everything we have learned from our history. Do you love your freedom? Then think about it, it is under attack. The people who supply jobs, invader jobs,are attempting to make us feel guilty for wanting our own country, Go home! Fix your own country we have enough trouble here without you commies being driven up here. Am I too mean foehammer? I don’t think so. Am I a racist, well I suppose am if you consider one who sticks up for their race when all others are calling us the worst names, names that I will not repeat here. I am fed up with all of it and I am not taking it anymore. I was at once a caring white person but all I hear is kill whitey these days and Im not going down that easy. There is a reason we are the most successful race throughout history and inclusive! I really hope the islamists understand who they are f…ing with but somehow I don’t think they do, may the Lord have mercy on their souls and censorship be damned!
This censorship is disgusting.
I bet all the jihadi sites are still working just fine.
(Can someone please clarify to me if this Surf Control applies to home pc users, or does it only apply to people who take their laptops to wi-fi places? I am a little confused.)
I am not having any trouble: I just want to know. Thanks in advance.
It’s probably due in part to a certain libeler that belongs in a Federal prison, but he’s already gotten more press than he deserves, so I will no longer name him.
Surf Control continues to run amok. This morning they blocked Doctor Bulldog’s site as well. It seems like this week has brought a sudden burst of this nonsense from this “gatekeeper”. I wonder what’s up with the increase in activity in this area.
I informed Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch’s rating, too.
The saga continues, at Atlas Shrugs.
I picked this site as a news site. I figure that category makes sense since this site reports news of the peaceful ones. Heaven knows I don’t get it from the usual sources!
It appears that SurfControl has now reclassified the Anvil from ‘Games’ to ‘Blogs & Forums.’ This is probably a better classification, but I guarantee that’s going to keep the Anvil in many spam bins at workplaces. Well, at least it should be free for lunch.
Check it here.
Anyone else know of more censor software companies along the same lines as SurfControl and SonicWALL?
Good news!
Although, we need to keep going to Surf Control to get Jihad Watch reclassified. It is still listed as “Intolerance & Hate”
