FUSION CENTER CENSORSHIP OF ACLU BLOG...

OR TAMPERING WITH TELECOMMUNICATIONS OF "TARGETED" USERS?

When I checked this thread on Friday, there were about a dozen comments. This morning (Monday, April 20th), my browser is showing no comments.

Could this be evidence of government fusion center tampering? Please read this:

I am trying to contact Mr. Jameel Jaffer to provide him with evidence in a case currently pending but it appears that the ACLU could not care less whether it wins or loses a lawsuit. Every attempt to even contact ACLU employees to have them forward an e-mail has been defeated and answered with liknks to as yet another state ACLU. It is beyond comprehension that the AZCLU claims to be interested in civil right but torpedos every attempt to provide assistance. bvongrabe@gmail.com

The only postings that we ask that you refrain from posting and that we cannot permit on our website are requests for legal assistance and postings that could cause ACLU to incur legal liability.

One important law in that regard is the prohibition on politically partisan activity. Given our nonprofit status, we may not endorse or oppose candidates for elective office.

Although we in no way wish to discourage you from that activity elsewhere, we ask that you not engage in that activity on our website (or include links to other websites that do so). Additionally, given that we are subject to very specific rules concerning the collection of personally identifying information through our website (names, email addresses, home address, financial information, etc.), we ask that you not use the comments portion of this blog to solicit this information from users of our website. We also ask that you not use the comments portion for advertising or requests for legal assistance, and do not add to your comment links to other websites, as we cannot be responsible for the content on other websites.

We are not able to respond to unsolicited inquiries, complaints or requests for assistance sent to this blog. Please direct your complaint or request for assistance to the ACLU affiliate in your state. Requests for legal assistance left in the blog comments will not receive a response or be published.
