United in-flight Wi-Fi reportedly blocks Ars Technica and New York Times

United Airlines' in-flight Wi-Fi service reserves the right to block any website the company deems "inappropriate or unsuitable for in-flight viewing."

It looks like Ars Technica made the list, along with The New York Times and some other news sites. Electronic Frontier Foundation staff attorney Nate Cardozo said yesterday that he was unable to open any of these sites on United's in-flight Wi-Fi. (There's more on this story on TechDirt.)

"Access to this site is currently restricted" is the message Cardozo got when he navigated to Ars, the Times, The Verge, and Daily Kos.
