If you contribute to or own a blog, in which the word ‘blog’ is contained in the title (for example http://googleblog.blogspot.com/) the US Air Force is blocking you. The AF has “cut off access to all external websites that contain the term “blog” in the URL. The official argument is that blogs aren’t legitimate media outlets and therefore, shouldn’t be read at work.” Ouch! So those of us using WP are somehow in the clear (and more legitimate? I don’t think so..) but all those blogspot writers are NSFW. “At least one senior Air Force official calls the squeeze so “utterly stupid, it makes me want to scream.”
