poker = porn = terror ?

I was at Panera, a chain sandwich shop which offers free wireless internet. Of course, I can't eat without checking up on the poker happenings.

Here's what popped up on my browser when I tried to go to my usual site:

---------
The SonicWALL Content Filter Has Blocked this site.
If you feel this site has been blocked in error,

Please submit a URL Rating Review at:

URL: http://www.cardplayer.com/

Reason for restriction: Forbidden Category "Other"
-------------

Pokernews.com, pokertube.com and highstakesreport.com were also blocked. Cardrunners.com was allowed and so was 2p2.
Strangely enough, I could access FTP and play, though I suspect the firewall gave me some bad hands....

I was tempted to try to navigate to some porn or Islamic-terror websites to see if they were blocked, also, but I didn't cuz I didn't want to get redflagged by the FBI/NSA/manager.

Anyone else run into these firewall issues?

Is this type of private-sector censorship a growing trend? Or you think this is something Sonicwall is likely to change should people (politely) voice enough concern?

Yeah, Panera blocks poker sites, but Full Tilt worked the last time I tried.
