Writer's Block: American Censorship Day!

[Error: unknown template qotd]No. Not ever. It's the wrong thing to do on so many levels it isn't even funny.

I work in a public library, and because of CIPA we have filters on the public computers. I've seen them block everything from fanfiction to Fox news. (Poor people aren't allowed to use the entire internet, you know.) This mechanism, if it is in place WILL be misused. It isn't a matter of if, it's a matter of when.

Call your politicians, tell them this is the wrong thing to do.
