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

Full Ack. After this letter arrived, I wrote a blog entry:
http://www.blogg.ch/index.php?/archives/444-Kampagne-Stopp-Kinderpornografie-im-Internet!-Das-Ross-wird-am-Schwanz-aufgezaeumt.html

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.
