The NSA does not control global internet traffic, or routing.
There would have to be a dedicated program, by government and corporate interests like google and internet ISP's to mess with search results or otherwise block traffic from going to certain sites etc.
The likelihood of this is very low. Their success rate doing it, even lower, considering with two or three keystrokes I can route my own traffic a million different ways to bypass a million different kinds of filters.
I'm sure they'd LIKE to do that though.

Censoring the web, at your apache server level, would be very easy.

They have the off switch for the internet. If this is so than they have other means to control the internet. They control what you view and also interfere with what you post. They no doubt have people online searching through what people upload and post. Whether that be youtube or forums. They are watching and blocking things depending on their objectives.

I have had an odd thing happen the last couple of months.
It used to be when I typed "ab" in the address line it would give me an autocomplete choice of abovetopsecret.com
Now all of a sudden when I type "ab" all sorts of things pop up for me to select,
but never abovetopsecret.com
I have to type it in every time and am never given it as an autocomplete option, when it is the only site that begins with ab that I visit daily and sometimes several times a day.
This is happening in both Google Chrome and in Firefox and in Explorer
I figured the autocomplete was being blocked for some reason, by someone, and have had to type it in everytime.
Don't know if this is happening to others as well.

Sites that are there but we can't see them.
Reminds me of the mosquito. Yes mosquito. The male does not bite people or drink blood. The have a loud buzz when they fly. The female drinks blood but flies with little or no buzz. So if you hear a mosquito flying in your room at night it's a male who can't bite you. But if you hear nothing.....

I've had chrome crash quite a few times on me while I'm typing replies for ATS.
Might be that chrome is just crap? Idk.
