I failed, so second try.

Btw, i think that the freedom of the speech thing is not about the right to publish the list. It is that we can do any sane critic about it.

If we can't discuss or share information about the content of list we can't do any analysis about internet censorship and thus any critic about it. Eg. Only reason that we know about that there is top3 gay porn sites on the list, or that 1/5 of the sites are located physically in EU and most of the rest are in US is because we know what is inside of the list.

I wonder when the main media (hs, iltasanomat etc) will take this situation to the light..

--AnonymousCoward, 13-Feb-2008


Thank you. Saying these things is important.

Helsingin Sanomat has already noted this, so has YLE. Not to mention the entire IT press.

This is pretty big.

According to Finnish law, any website hosted inside Finland should not be blocked. And still the police (and the ISPs) have blocked this particular web site. So who's the one acting unlawfully here?

I counted the mirrors (from the je.org -list) today: 50. There may of course be duplicates.
