Salem State Censorship: It was all a mistake
Posted October 2, 2009 – 13:20 in: Silivrenion, syndicatedSalem State Chief Information Officer Patricia Ainsworth released a statement that “the blocking experienced was due to an error in our firewall configuration. It was not intentional. I was glad students brought it to our attention. We fixed it today. I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.” This is responding to events where Salem State’s network had inadvertently widely blocked all mature content sites, including websites with only a mild rating, such as fmylife.com.
I’m sure people will be relieved to know the situation has come to a close. Testing hasn’t been done to confirm that the fixes are in place, so if you find that mature content sites work, please leave us a comment so others know how this turned out!
