I just tried accessing Athol Kay’s blog in a chain-brand coffee shop, and I got this message:
Dear {user},
This is a message from the IT Department.
The web site you are trying to access:
{url}
is listed as a site within the category {category}Current Internet Access Configuration does not allow you to visit sites within this category at this time.
This is because MMSL was flagged as “mature” content when Athol posted a video where he kisses his wife Jennifer. I kid you not. How long before the arbiters of polite conversation get their little heads around this tactic and try to censor other manosphere sites? Maybe I’ll log an anonymous complaint against somebody I disagree with just as a proof of concept.
I reiterate: corporations of sufficient size act exactly like national governments.
