After a quick scan through the restricted classification database on the censors site, from which it appears that detailed instructions on the production of homemade gun silencers is rated RC, I managed to find a random YouTube video showing such details, and submitted it to see what the process is like.
As expected, it's a fairly trivially automatable process, with a single captcha to prevent automated submission. This should be pretty trivial to wrap in a website, so that we'd just need to build a URL list in advance, ask random interweb volunteers to look at and solve catchas, and the rest would be done more or less automatically. I know some of the filtering systems will use DNS to prefilter HTTP requests, resolving all sites present in the block list across to the proxies that do the more detailed filtering. This, by the way, is how half of the UK appeared to be arriving at Wikipedia from the same IP address earlier in the year. Assuming this test complaint gets approved, something similar should happen to all Australian traffic going to YouTube for any ISP using that kind of filter system. We'll see how it goes, and I'm sure we're rapidly getting to the point where we should move this discussion off the SLUG list...
