Christian sez,

Germany's working group against

censorship, AK Zensur, has analysed a few recent Scandinavian

blacklists, allegedly meant to block sites containing child abuse

material. Our less-than-surprising findings:

* From 167 listed sites, only 3 contained such material.

* Two of them were listed on different blacklists since 2008, obviously

without the authorities trying to take the sites offline.

* All three were taken down by the hosting providers within hours or even

minutes after receiving an AK takedown request by email.

So what were the reasons again that made access blocking an essential

weapon in fighting child abuse?
