Censorship

Fellow commuter is ranting about how the American government is just as bad as the Chinese government when it comes to censorship. Well, I don't know, I can't compare the two. But his reasoning is that as a government employee, there are certain websites he can't access from his work computer, like Yahoo! and Hotmail.

Okay, that's not government censorship of a private citizen and the web. That's an employer's decision about how to use assets. Not permitting personal, web-based email to be read during work hours, restricting personal browsing during work hours, these are not censorship.
