> In the context of the ACLU's challenge to the Children's Internet Protection
> Act, I recently prepared a list of some 6000+ web sites that, by and large,
> fail to meet the category definitions of popular Internet filtering programs
> yet are blocked by at least one such program.

> This topic may be old hat, but my work is new: I have prepared an unusually
> large list of sites (including police departments, libraries, home-schooling
> sites, candidates for political office, and on and on), and I have retested
> these sites over a period of several months.  As a result, I think this may
> be of interest to your readers.
