Library of Congress blocks Wikileaks

Library of Congress Is Latest Government Institution to Block Wikileaks

The Library of Congress has blocked access to the Wikileaks site on its staff computers and on the wireless network that visitors use, two sources tell TPM.

The error message reportedly reads:

"Ad or Website blocked by LC DNSBH. Advertisements or websites that may be malicious are blocked.

If this message appears in lieu of an advertisement (i.e., on part of the page), the advertisement site may be malicious. However the website is safe to use.

If this message appears on a page by itself, the website is blocked due to potential malicious content.

There goes our first amendment rights, and it's starting at the Library of Congress. Is this a trend for bigger things to come, or an isolated incident? You decide.
