    • Should YouTube censor al-Qaida? - UPI.com

      Posted by Damianmann from UPI

      Sen. Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn., called Monday for YouTube to take down al-Qaida videos that users had posted, but the site said most of the videos his office had flagged did not contain material that violated their guidelines and rejected his request that they act to remove all material from U.S. designated terror groups.

      Access Denied: report on Internet censorship around the world

      Posted by Jeff from BoingBoing

      Many countries around the world block or filter Internet content, denying access to information--often about politics, but also relating to sexuality, culture, or religion--that they deem too sensitive for ordinary citizens. Access Denied documents and analyzes Internet filtering practices in over three dozen countries, offering the first rigorously conducted study of this accelerating trend.

    • Do the Blind Deserve More Effort on the Web?

      Posted by Jeff

      While the article generated many positive comments, one reader said the disabled should 'get a grip' and maintained they 'have no more right to demand that others provide for their needs than I, as a diabetic, have a right to demand that sugar no longer be used.' Should Web sites and software makers do more, or does the reality of today's economics dictate that the blind/disabled will continue to struggle and learn to live with it?

    I am excited for it – but I wish they would certify plug-ins a bit faster as they go along.

    Firefox 3 Beta 3 Brings a New Browsing Interface

    Maybe it’s the “resource hog” property of Firefox that has kept me away: my system seems alllergic to FF, as the whole thing overheats and shuts down within seconds of the program being accessed.

    Perhaps I should try Beta 3, and see what happens.

    Story | Victoria Times Colonist | Canadians urged to post health-care violations to new website

    Given all the press given to various forms of essentially-universal health care that Democratic candidates for the U.S. presidency currently propose, I thought this was very topical. In Canada there are constant threats to our version of universal care/Medicare at all levels – from encroaching privatization from U.S. owned clinics (which, thanks to NAFTA, we can’t remove despite their violation of the Canada Health Act) to extra payments for simple medical equiptment.

    This particular story has to do with efforts to deal with that smaller issue, of course. It’s easier to deal with, though, being strictly illegal. Blocking private care alternatives is a slightly more thorny human rights issue.

    I think all they care about is Vox. TypePad has had sparse updates since the Vox launch

    AT&T Rigs Net Neutrality Study

    Sad to see my alma mater RPI go for this. Not surprising though.
