a lot of them are getting the feed from cablecom allready filtered i think.

I have the problem with this (sorry i must say) of the swiss romande... The most blocking of pages are the same law on the blocking page. I don't sure if a voud law could send this letter to an ISP in Zuerich... Normaly the must write to the "Statsanwaltschaft Zürich" and they must send this letter. 2nd Problem they have only written to the DSL ISP... and Cablecom... Other Cable ISP musn't block it. In Switzerland we 1/3 of the costumer has cable Internet... and 1/2 of this are not CC Clients... We habve GGA Maur Sasag, divers "Gemeindewerke", WVZ, RKO Cablenetswiss etc.
With this letter this Networkes musn't block any page... (I have looked the list on www.heisse.de)
This is for me a verry bigproblematic. I think when we are going this way. we are nearer on china linke USA.

I'm pretty sure that every people reading this topic on SwiNOG is not sure that such a request is fully supported by a law. Now, I am not sure that some customers will recourse because one website is blocked from a couple of ISPs. But even, it remains an ethical question for the ISP to decide if they just carry bits and bytes (as the Swiss post carry letters) without worrying what these bytes are coding (as the Swiss post does; as of today they do not filter your mail to drop invoices and ads for delivering only personal letters and postcards). 2009/2/17 Tonnerre Lombard <tonnerre@bsdprojects.net> Salut, Yann, In my opinion it is not clear so far whether or not it is legal at all for an ISP to block web sites. I think that blindly doing so - especially by a dubious court order - might give customers a legal right to recourse.
