Blocking is as well political activism as nonsense, as long as many of the childporn-sellers set up as many as 20 sites a day on yahoo. These sites are pointing on perfectly legal sites on which one can make a payment for receiving a password which enables user to get into a p2p-network where the cp-material is distributed. Furthermore: ISPs would have to update the list all day and night - a neverending job. And as long as some police departments in some other countries are setting up cp-sites as a trap and therefore are actively distributing child pornography, the whole "plan of action" as described in TV becomes pretty weird. Are elections soon? But anyway, if Cablecom _really_ wants to block all these sites, the responsible guy may contact me off-list. I'll be glad to send him may daily harvest of cp-addresses :-p

There were a few approches until now, already with low success or technical implications (other sites also blocked, etc.)
The discussion now happend on society level. Any bigger ISP will never offically reject such blocking requests for child pornography in a tv interview as this can hardly hit their image in the public.
The technical questions of the blocking are completly fadet out. They didn't really care anyone. Blocking can and will definitivly not work. Endusers can implement workarrounds in less than a minute. Other questions like, who's maintaining the list etc. are not even discussed.
I'm really concerned about the way that this story will/ can go...
Full Ack. After this letter arrived, I wrote a blog entry: http://www.blogg.ch/index.php?/archives/444-Kampagne-Stopp-Kinderpornografie...
Few days later I got a call from the journalist of SF who did the report in 10vor10. Means: the journalist was perfectly aware of all the technical and political issues in this case, but he masked out it completly. IMHO a bad job, 10vor10.
