Why would we need to bother writing something ourselves? 1. Go to google 2. Type in something likely to get bad content (eg. sex) 3. Submit EVERY SINGLE result to the list arbitrators
(Reasoning: well, clearly WE don't know what's classified - if we did, why would we need the Government to write great big laws about such things?)

I'm more of a builder of things than a talker, and it occurs to me that if the scope of potential blocking is as wide as it (naively, to me) appears to be (and based on comments such as "80% of the 95 million porn sites fall under this criteria" from the Sex Party etc) then the theoretical maximum size of the block list is something like 100 million URLs and contains every online games shop that sells NC video games, and so on and so forth. I'm pondering the idea of automating the web trawling process to find NC content, and then just submit all 100 million NC content URLs to the people that maintain the blocklist... This is to some degree idle speculation, and I'm sure that any specific attempt to do something like this would need to be more thoroughly researched, but if anyone can recommend any technical anti-filter forums within the various groups protesting this it would be handy...
