Vodafone's Child Porn Filter Blocks Innocent Czech Tech Blogs

Mark Glaser, PBS Mediashift

Is there a way for the IWF and other filtering organizations to be transparent about the sites they block, without somehow promoting that information online? Already, the site Wikileaks has obtained and posted the site blacklist of the Thai government, which strangely enough includes Hillary Clinton campaign videos and Charlie Chaplin clips on YouTube.

The EFF's O'Brien says that the IWF has been more public than other groups and governments that filter, but that its system is flawed from the start.
