IWF Again and 101st post

so i contacted my isp about the IWF the response i got was an email saying they had indeed started deploying the IWF blacklisting scheme and included this lovely diagram

Im going to leave plusnet as soon as i can and i enourage you to boycott them too. web censorship for whatever reason is sickening and wrong. as soon as i find a IWF-less isp i am so gone.

Also this is my 101st post

Hi there,

Sorry to hear you're not satisfied with our IWF implementation :(

What is it you're having problems with as the only URLs the proxies should filter are those that are on the IWF's child-abuse lists?

If you think that something's being blocked in error (which can happen on occasion due to the way that web requests are forwarded via the proxies), then I'd be happy to have a look into it for you.

I would need your username or a ticket reference from your account though.

Best Rgds,

Bob Pullen

actually, the sites that IWF block are "sickening and wrong" and would only be visited by "sickening and wrong" individuals.

Actually the IWF block hundreds of sites for no reason. its obvious.

Dear Mr Pullen
