What is it about cathinfo? blocked in libraries

yeh, it's strange but a few of the libraries I use block this site. Why?

I can see blocking controversial sites (porn, etc) but...

I told one librarian and she didn't have much of an answer... something like: some things are blocked, we can't un-block... a real no answer...

??

You need to find a library worker who understands how the computers work.
.
Not necessarily (and probably not) a librarian -- they know how to find information and books, and how to organize books.
.
The computer tech they use might only be there a few hours each week, so ask to find out when he comes in.
.
Be sure you are using a computer set aside for adults, not one for children.
.
They might have gotten the children's settings mixed up with adult computers, for example.
.
Pay close attention when you select or reserve a computer because you might have picked one for children by mistake.
.
If you reserved a computer by way of phone call the library rep (probably not a "librarian") may have chosen a child's computer.
.
I have had days when CathInfo was not accessible at the library and then came back another day and it was accessible.
.
So I don't have all the answers, but I have found that some libraries have strange filters for whatever reason.
.
Perhaps they don't want children or even adults playing games online at the library, and since CI has login and allows contributions of text and lets you see other members' contributions, it might look like a gaming site to a system control robot. Only a knowledgeable computer technician would understand that, though.
.
Once you find a system tech who can access system settings, you could request that CathInfo be put on a list of EXCEPTIONS whereby you can use it even when the system IDs it as a site that should be blocked. You can show him for example, that there is nothing on CI that ought to be blocked at the Library.

Possibly because CI is a forum largely inhabited by SSPX and SSPX resistance trads, and may be banned because of the SPLC report or relationship to +W? Can you access the SSPX site from the library? I know libraries often block sites that aren't politically correct. I hope this isn't the case.

I'd say that it could be that CathInfo allows free discussion about things Jєωιѕн.

I thought I remembered reading that the Southern Poverty Law Center in Alabama has placed SSPX on its official list of "Hate Groups" in America.
