And yes, it's blocked for me. Here's the link to test - http://americancensorship.org/

It's like an appetizer of what will happen when SOPA becomes law.

know if I'm blocked or not. How do you tell the difference? Thanks.

[toddwv]

81. Just click on the link or type it into the address field of your browser.

If it comes up to the American Censorship homepage, it works.

If you get an error message such as "page cannot be found" or a redirection to a search engine, then there's a problem.

[Cal33]

108. Many thanks.

[City Lights]

[Elwood P Dowd]

12. It worked fine for me on Earthlink. (nt)

[Fire Walk With Me]

13. I googled it and the google'd link works.

Today, Congress holds hearings on the first American Internet censorship system.

opera mini uses its own proxy servers

ERROR!

[bananas]

52. it's working now. nt

[aletier_v]

19. Works on Verizon for me.

[Tommykun]

20. Illegal censorship...

Attempts to e-mail the "owners" at [e-mail] are also being denied. SOPA/PIP have NOT passed, therefore ISPs are illegally restricting access to websites and ignoring FCC regulations. The site has not been shut down by the FBI or any other Dept of Justice branch, meaning the site should be available for full access to ALL USERS.

I, at this moment, am still able to access the site, its parent site, and other sister sites. However, this could change at a moments notice. We MUST contact our representatives and DEMAND justice.

[Revlon10]

21. not working for me

im on earthlink

"We are sorry, americancensorship.org cannot be found.
We suggest that you check the spelling of the web address or try a different search term."

not working on my ATT network on iphone


WOW

[Kaleko]

22. Works from Canada.

[Tommykun]

23. That's because...

Canada is one of the last bastions of true freedom in the world, it seems.

[Fire Walk With Me]

25. Welcome to DU, sorry it's in a thread like this!

:hi::toast:

[Tommykun]

28. Thank you.

Been lurking around for about three years now, just never got around to posting haha. It's sad that it's in a post like this and the ones that have been making their rounds for the past few days... This will only feed the Occupy movement. This will only make the true freedom-loving individuals in this nation feel even more disdain for our current political climate...

I feel a revolution a-brewin'.

[aletier_v]

31. revolution

Our weekly dinner group got into a political discussion tonight.

One woman started in about the Russian revolution before self-censoring herself to keep the peace. Just about everybody is thinking about Occupy, I can tell you.

[Tommykun]

34. Occupy

has become more than just a little resistance... Now its the most powerful political association in America. GOP? Pfft... DCCC? Hah!
Neither of these three-ring circuses can even begin to reflect the will of the people. The Democrat and Republican parties have become two sides to the same twisted coin.

[Kaleko]

44. Hey Tommykun,

you sound like a great addition to the monkey house here.

Let me echo FWWM's welcome to you in hopes that you will post a lot more.

:hi:

Oh, and Canada DOES feel like a kinder, more humble, socially aware and community-oriented outpost of the better places in the US to me.

[Bluenorthwest]

65. Also works from Eugene Oregon on Comcast internet

Good fucking god people. The link works.

[fizzgig]

24. not working for me

[canuckledragger]

29. Blocked for me

Using Cogeco cable here..which I believe is a subsidiary of Rogers cable.


But the site IS accessible when I use Tor

[Tommykun]

30. Seems like..

The "deep net" programs, like Tor, will be illegal before too long if this keeps up.

[canuckledragger]

33. oh really?

...& just let the monkeys try to keep me from using it or anything else like it, lol

[Tommykun]

37. Agreed

They can try to take it from me. They can just bloody try... and I will keep using it, getting it from any source available. I'll probably make a copy on a flash drive and stick it in a box. I will then hide it somewhere.

[canuckledragger]

42. I'll have to research it again but...

I seem to remember that when Egypt shut off it's internet services during the arab spring to censor it's protesters, there was a group talking about buying a communications satellite to provide internet with as a possible workaround to that kind of thing happening again?

Anyone remember this?

[Petrushka]

35. Strange! If I click on the link you posted, it now works . . . however . . .

if I do a copy and paste, it does NOT work. :shrug:

[BadgerKid]

36. Here are some IP addresses.

The DNS didn't seem to exist at first, and after playing with web proxies and finally seeing the web site unblocked, I get

> host americancensorship.org
americancensorship.org has address 174.129.212.2
americancensorship.org has address 75.101.145.87
americancensorship.org has address 75.101.163.44

So....

[dems_rightnow]

93. I have Cox Cable, and can see it just fine.

So, I dunno.

[onestepforward]

43. This is very strange. I was blocked earlier,

about an hour ago, and now I can click the site and it shows up.

I use Suddenlink, which is listed on youranonnews.

[Tommykun]

46. The DNS server...

that your ISP uses may be under lease from a larger one. The larger one may have blocked traffic and then your ISP switched to another. If you have a static IP, its as simple as changing the DNS server your modem uses.

[onestepforward]

103. Ahh, I see now.

Thanks and welcome to DU!
:hi:

[FreakinDJ]

47. worked for me

[markpkessinger]

48. Works fine for me in NYC...

...using a T-Mobile mobile broadband connection.

[Bosonic]

49. Something similar from the UK

BT ordered to block links to Newzbin 2 website

A High Court judge has ruled that BT must block access to a website which provides links to pirated movies.

Newzbin 2 is a members-only site which aggregates a large amount of the illegally copied material found on Usenet discussion forums.

The landmark case is the first time that an ISP has been ordered to block access to such a site.

It paves the way for other sites to be blocked as part of a major crackdown on piracy.

[ET Awful]

51. Works fine on Comcast for me. n/t

[eShirl]

53. so it's the DNS server, not the actual ISP, that is doing the blocking?

seeing as it works with a proxy?

[laylah]

54. I have ATT and it loaded for me. nt

[demmiblue]

55. Me, too. n/t

[hobbit709]

56. ATT here, no problem accessing.

57. ClearWire - no problem here n/t

[nc4bo]

58. Charter Communications, Buies Creek - not blocked.

:wtf: is going on? Why are certain ISPs in certain locations blocking this site?

[sufrommich]

60. Works fine for me. nt

[Codeine]

61. Loaded right up for me, no problems. nt

[catabryna]

63. ClearWire works. nt

[Bluenorthwest]

66. Works fine for me, which is always the case with these posts

The fake panic makes the whole issue seem like paranoid folly. I'd rethink the entire method.

[sufrommich]

70. +1. nt

[GoCubsGo]

71. Makes me wonder...

How much of the failure of some is caused by some browser privacy add-on. I have one such add-on, which I use to keep Facebook from following me around. Unfortunately, it causes problems when I try to access some legitimate sites, like Recyclebank. Sometimes, I have to disable it.

[Bluenorthwest]

74. I have a paranoid pal or two that every couple of weeks call up

to tell me 'they' have removed all information about Subject X from the internet. While they tell me, I do a search and forward them tons of articles on Subject X. They enjoy the drama I think, or they just suck as searching....
On this issue, there are two extreme sides which I do not agree with much. One favors this bill as it stands, the other favors no regulation at all and the freedom to rip off those who create or own entertainments and other things. I agree with neither extreme. I also note that each time a post like this is made, there are many posters I've never seen before making the same claim, it's blocked. They are here posting 'oh my God the US is blocked, Canada is our only hope' which would be fine if true. All the people posting 'not blocked for me' are ignored by those who claim it is 'scary' that it is blocked.
I'll assume for the OP's sake that this site is blocked for some, somewhere. It is a huge mistake to tell me I can not open that which I can open, and then try make a point with a falsehood. I lose trust, and figure those posting such things have financial gain to make via the panic and all.

[GoCubsGo]

77. I hear you.

I tend to be a skeptic. From my experience, half the time, a problem is created by some innocuous cause, rather than the state one. It just frustrates the hell out of me that some automatically assume their problem is caused by Subject X, rather than something else, without exploring other options. But, I was trained in science, so that sort of thing comes natural for me.

[EFerrari]

82. I tried just now and the site comes up fine.

Something changed between last night and now.
