I present here some relevant information for those of you who are
disinclined to wade through the jargon of the Internet Watch
Foundation web site. The following is a direct quote as to the
expectations imposed upon their full members [no lewd puns, PLEASE!]
"In addition, the IWF recommends that Full Members do not provide
access to particular newsgroups, based on whether the newsgroups
regularly contain child abuse images or whether they have names that
appear to advertise paedophile content or advocate paedophile
activity."
The implicaton is that if the IWF feels any particular group even
appears to "advocate" (endorse, defend, etc. ad nauseum) child love,
full member ISPs are pressured to drop them, whether a single image or
video even remotely scandalous had been posted or not.
One wonders what their specific criteria might be to make such a
determination, and from whence it is drawn!
