CIPA - "censorware" the liberal's term, says columnist
Today I've been searching Google news for the keyword censorware. So far I've found one (1) article. From a conservative publication The Weekly Standard:
... -the ACLU and the American Library Association call the filters "censorware," ...
I wish! I wish! I love the world this writer is constructing. It reminds me of the old Jewish joke:
A Jewish man was riding on the subway reading a copy of Arab World News. A friend of his, who happened to be riding in the same subway car, noticed this strange phenomenon. Very upset, he approached the newspaper reader:
"Moshe, have you lost your mind? Why are you reading that garbage newspaper?" Moshe replied: "I used to read the Jewish newspaper, but what did I find? Jews being persecuted, Israel being attacked, Jews disappearing through assimilation and intermarriage, Jews living in poverty.
So I switched to Arab World News. Now what do I find? Jews own all the banks, Jews control the media, Jews are all rich and powerful, Jews rule the world. The news is so much better."
