I found the company that censored Michael Moore and Buzzflash in Canada!
Advertisements [?]
I got a reply from my local library system (London, Ontario) who was kind enough to provide me all the information on who made the software program for internet filtering. As seen on my previous thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=4290822&mesg_id=4290822

Michael Moore and Buzzflash were both filtered out as "Hate Sites". Right wing websites such as Michael Savage, Rush Limbaugh, and FreeRepublic were left alone. Go figure.

Anyway...here's the reply:

The London Public Library uses NetSweeper http://www.netsweeper.com / . This is a Canadian company located in Guelph, Ontario.

Let's do our research on Netsweeper, Inc. What's their agenda...any biases in their filtering codes?
