This entry talks about a San Francisco hotel censoring the WiFi connection is provides to guests. I know this opinion is going to be unpopular, but as a sysadmin I have to say that I agree with the censorship to a degree. While I agree with blocking known problematic sites, such as spammer sites, cracker sites, warez sites, and so on, I disagree with disallowing certain chat forums for other content.

So, in essence, I agree with the hotel's ability to censor their guests somewhat. Remember, this is a service they provide and are, therefore, ultimately liable for. They have to protect themselves. If they don't, they're going to have a serious problem one day.

Using hotels to perform hacks has been a standard practice for hackers since hacking became hacking. Remember that before you question the hotels for protecting themselves from Lawyers with a penchant toward yelling about due diligence.
