Uhhh, I think the concept of politically correct can be argue.., but I won't do that. The reason of my comment is based in what I support (Internet freedom) and the fact that my country (Venezuela) has been blocking certain sites during the last year. I guess most people won't realize what is to live in a country where many websites are blocked, where many IP addresses can not be reach and where certain domains can not resolved. Maybe some people would immediately think in VPNs and changing the computers DNSs but it only works for a VERY VERY small part of the population, the reality is that most people won't still have access to the blocked websites. If you are a technical person and something goes wrong you will doubt if what you are trying to do is blocked or not. If you are a regular users entering a "normal" website and it fails, you will think that this websites has also been blocked (and it's temporary failure of the website/path). >You can get > https://twitter.com/aikaterine7/status/436479990390325248 if you are at > school.

Nowadays when I travel I have to say that one of the things that I most enjoy is surfing with no restrictions :) In somehow I support blocking certain content in Internet such as child pornography and illegal stuff selling but It's extremely ugly blocking content which has information, news & opinion of the people. > > Regards, > S.
