Who’s afraid of NetNanny?

Filed under: ntmd — ana @ 9:10 am

The McDonalds restaurant in PP, as in Ipiranga, offers a free “educational” in-house internet access service next door to their free “classroom”, where kids learn English using McDonalds menus. I went in to the PP restaurant the other day and logged onto this ‘’McInternet'’ with a view to downloading McSpotlight.org onto the desktop, or at least into the history of visited sites, in order to increase the educational value of this important service for the (mostly pre-pubescent) punters. The site was barred by NetNanny. The lengths that corporate power goes to in order to maintain itself astonishes me anew.
