I was following up a link to my blog on Et Cetera, and discovered that unlike a number of psychology blogs, mine was NOT banned in China yet. I wonder what one must do to get banned? Et Cetera notes that you can go to the greatfirewallofchina site and see if your own blog has been banned. Perhaps if I say that I am appalled that any nation would censor access to the Internet, I might join the banned group.
This just in….I checked my daughter’s blog, in which she discusses mostly sports and public relations, and she IS blocked. Gosh, I feel left out now!

Hi Laura,
Well, you’ve just not been bad enough to get banned. Let’s face it, some people have it, and some don’t.
By the way, I quit APA in protest against it’s having “Dr. Phil” as a keynote in New Orleans…Now there’s one scroundrel that should be banned everywhere!

Hi, Disembedded.
I’m still amazed by the whole idea of anybody being banned, and I really appreciate your publicizing the greatfirewall site.
If you’re tired of APA, you might check out APS instead….I’ve always enjoyed their conferences more.

Maybe China has a specific interest in the psychology of Laura Freeberg and would rather learn how to control people’s minds that let their country learn about dangerous topics such as sports and public relations that are on your daughter’s blog lol. Who know you may be becoming the next asian version of Doctor Phil you could have your own dubbed over talk show and everything.

[…] One of the darker findings was how anxious many Americans are to have the government regulate Internet content. Only 36% believed that blocking video content would be unconstitutional. That would be me–if you start blocking some content, where do you stop? Yes, some of the stuff is pretty horrific (beheadings, etc.), but we’re not China either (yet). […]
