I've used Best Buy wifi in the past for both far left, far right and centrist websites, including some with content far more offensive than FR. This is the first time I've seen a corporate filter of political sites.

How common is this? Am I paranoid to fear that Corporatism is gradually removing our freedoms? Under corporatism does everyone become a snowflake?

Depends...did you click on something that said “accept terms of use”?

Are you saying you’re using BB’s wi-fi? If so, they can do what they want. Your ‘freedom’ is not an entitlement.

If it’s free wifi then you get what you pay for.

1. This isn’t news
2. Stop trying to connect at Best Buy.
Grab your stuff and get out.
3. Where you can or cannot connect to FR does not equal news.
4. The Best Buy Police are outside your house.

This morning, there was a thread with Ted Cruz favorite, at least liked, porn and it included a picture.

They're not removing our freedoms but they are working very hard to change our way of life. They want us to all get along... do your best to get along without them.

I have been waiting over a decade for an advertised rebate form them. I have blocked any purchases, reading any adds of theirs and such until they do the right thing.
