Default 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:
http://cfssupport.sonicwall.com

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?
