County bans Edgefield Daily.com from county computers 

Edgefielddaily.com
web posted July 2, 2005

Edgefield Daily.com received over a dozen calls and several e-mails complaining that county computers were denied access to Edgefield Daily.com yesterday. Many believed the site had been removed from the internet and wanted to know why.

Barbara Stark, Clerk to Council, said she did not know if the County Administrator had installed a new filter on the computer system to block access to the site or not. Stark said she also was unable to access the site while speaking with us. She did not return a request to ask the County Administrator if a reported visit by a ProNet employee to the building this morning had anything to do with the banning of the site from view before close of business Friday for the holiday.

Our Webmaster did some checking and the source which stopped the access of the site to the requested user was a filtering program called DansGaurdian, the very program used by the county to filter access to sites such as porn sites.

In addition, access to a public computer in the county complex showed the same result as our webmaster described. Below is the actual message displayed on the county computers. Clerk to Council Barbara Stark confirmed she received the same message on her computer.



Edgefield County Councilmen have been contacted and at least one is investigating the matter and said he would have more to say on Tuesday. All access to sites similar to Edgefield Daily.com was still accessible on county computers; sites such as The Edgefield Advertiser and The Citizen News as well as all other media outlets.

If sources close to the matter are correct, and they so far appear to be accurate, the county will have to face serious questions regarding their actions directed against Edgefield Daily.com.
