I found this on another list and thought it would be
of interest to the readers of this list. He makes an
interesting point about how some of the censorship
software could be detrimental to certain "legitimate"
websites that are considered to be too controversial.

Greetings Everyone,
It is no question my web site < http://www.svpvril.com > is a bit
"different". It covers Freedom materials, political items and many
varieties of Free Energy topics as well as metaphysical and spiritual
subjects. It is controversial and it does provide an amazing amount of
information not easily findable. I don't think there is anything
"offensive" to anyone unless the truth offends. Well guess what I found
out?
My site has been included in a database that prohibits access to it by
those using special software. This is amazing! Here is a company
actively selling software that interferes with people as they try to
access my site. The software interferes with my customers and their right
to browse, shop and educate themselves. No doubt this software has
reduced overall hits and sales. The legality and consequences of these
censoring actions ought to be investigated. A brief read on their site
tells a gruesome sugar-coated tale:

If any of you operate an alternative anything site (like this list)
please check these guys out and specifically ask if your site is listed
in their database. They agreed to remove mine when I discovered what was
going on from a friend who all of a sudden could not access my site.
