A Window into bias

I setup a standard user account to help reduce the risk of infection. I turned on parental controls to increase that protection then I went to my favorite blog SandraK to discover they had been blocked. In fact most of my favorite conservative blogs were blocked. Ok so I tried some of the liberal blogs I have on my list, none were blocked.

PClists

Then I went to my blog and Microsoft blocked me!

Blocked

This is nothing new I’ve heard reports of this kind of bias for years, this is the first time I’ve seen it for myself because I don’t use filtering software.
