Windscribe VPN has an OPTIONAL feature called R.O.B.E.R.T which is basically an adblocking/malware filter. You can read more on it here: Windscribe
ROBERT 2.0 was just released and features more filters. One of these filters being for "fake news." It seems that by enabling this filter, Windscribe blocks conservative news websites while leaving left leaning websites alone.
Liberal
Salon: Allowed
Buzzfeed: Allowed
HuffingtonPost: Allowed
TheHill: Allowed
Conservative
New York Post: Allowed
Breitbart: Blocked
The Blaze: Blocked
DailyCaller: Blocked
InfoWars: Blocked
RedState: Blocked
Is it just me, or is this a form of censorship? Why is a VPN provider which is used to circumvent censorship censoring right leaning websites? Try if for yourself if you do not believe me.
Whether you're liberal or a conservative, this filter/list is completely subjective and sets a bad precedent going forward. I decided to switch VPN providers as I refuse to use a service that advocates any type of censorship. Thoughts?
