Uncensored
Further to my previous rant on censorship, it seems the IWF has decided it may have dropped a clanger in its decision to block (most) UK Internet access to a particular web page.

Surely, the backtracking thought process that went on at the IWF is one that should have happened before blocking the web page in the first place..?
