Funny how nobody is mentioning the Virgin Killer farce. The organisation that made that happen might just ask British ISP's to *silently* use the filter-tags to prevent British viewers to ever know there was such tagged content at all. And just to prove I am not being anti-British here, the Finnish police did even worse things, but the margin of this e-mail is too narrow to explain them. -- -- Jussi-Ville Heiskanen, ~ [[User:Cimon Avaro]] _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
