So, got this on JC Penny’s WiFi today...
My withered brain | 14 October 2018 | Me

Posted on 10/14/2018 12:24:37 PM PDT by Magnatron

Was at a mall today, bored and waiting for my wife to stop spending my money. So I tried to go onto Free Republic to pass the time. I didn’t know I was on JC Penny’s WiFi (I was not in the store).

Can’t quite figure out what word has been banned...

Free?

Republic?

No wonder they’re going out of business.

Won’t be long before J.C Penney is banned from everywhere.

Probably checks for letters that spell bad words and sees public as pubic

“Free”?

Or “Republic”?

I use NordVPN. Bypasses all the ISP blocks and keeps my browsing secure and private.

The msg is irrelevant. They ARE blocking FR. Make no mistake.

Some Wi-fi hotspots ban political websites altogether. I found that out when I tried accessing FR in Meijer.

If I was totally bored which is why I would be on a devise at a Mall and that happened to me I would break it down and resend it to see which part was rejected as I am sure it was not freerepublic as who has time to input every http address into their router

Expressvpn. Magical. Apps for all devices and proprietary firmware for your router. Stick it to the liberals.

"Leftist Central" (DNC) probably has a free file of conservative sites such as 'freerepublic.' All they would need to do is load it into their censor software.

Don’t promiscuously use wifi without a vpn. A VPN would blind them to your ‘net usage.

Yeah.

Funny how they don't consider Yahoo, MSN, Google, etc., etc., to be political sites. All of them run without restrictions.

No, it's not the website name, but rather the contents of the main/index page that set off one of the snowflakes' hair-triggers.

Go look at the main page, especially the paragraph of blue & red links at the top or the Popular Keywords in upper left. Eg:

"Popular Keywords: 113th banglist budget catholic communism communists conclave coup democrats economy education electionfraud guncontrol guns homosexualagenda military obama obamacare palin randpaul secondamendment sequester talkradio votefraud voterfraud"

My #1 guess is that "homosexualagenda" was the trigger. Anything other than "gay" is a Thought Crime these days.

Why on earth would you use public Wifi without a VPN?

Especially at JC Penny.
