Es waren nicht Selbsthilfegruppen von Brustkrebspatientinnen [seit 1996 bekannt], die für Verwechslung mit Pornosites sorgten, sondern schlicht die Positionierung auf einer IP-Adresse, die chinesex.net irgendwann einmal innehatte. -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- Cyber Patrol has found out why their software is blocking www.cancer.org -- the site inherited its IP address from www.chinesesex.net. In fact, if you go to http://www.chinesesex.net/, you get taken to the American Cancer Society home page. IP address blocking is a common problem. I met Susan Getgood from Cyber Patrol in March 2001, at a hearing on blocking software held by the National Academy of Sciences, and one of the things she said was that when Cyber Patrol 5 came out, it would not block sites by IP address, and so problems like this would not occur. (I was skeptical at the time, and I've been bugging the conference organizers ever since, trying to get a copy of the tape with Susan Getgood's words recorded on it.) So it looks like breast cancer at sites are still at risk of being blocked, but so is every other type of site, too. One odd thing is that most political blocked sites are still liberal sites, even though you'd think that the collateral damage done by IP address blocking would be random. It's might be that there are simply more liberal political sites on the Web than conservative, or that conservative groups have more funding for a "stable" Internet presence (a single, long-term host, a dedicated IP address, etc.).
