SmartFilter stupidity - Christian sites as SEX
posted by filter_editor on Tuesday August 06, @09:27AM
from the er,-no,-not-that-Madonna dept.
Censorship Seth Finkelstein writes "A while ago, in response to the Saudi Arabia censorware study , I generated for a reporter some current proofs that censorware has not become very smart at all. Since Saudi Arabia was the topic, I decided to look into Christian sites, and found a half-dozen sites which were blacklisted as SEX (No bias implied, I attribute this to stupidity, not malice). See
SmartFilter stupidity - Christian sites as SEX

Five out of the six sites are still blacklisted, weeks later (I think one webmaster complained to them). This is now turning into a little experiment as to whether SmartFilter will notice at all :-)."
