[Full-disclosure] W3C filtered as child porn by Finnish ISP

[Juha-Matti Laurio <juha-matti.laurio@xxxxxxxx>]

According to Neural Broadcaster blog of Martti Roitto:

"Due to reasons yet to be determined, the website of the World Wide Web 
Consortium, w3.org/w3c.org, is being filtered as child pornography (wget/curl) 
by the Finnish ISP, DNA Internet.

Update Sept 27. 3PM: DNA has removed w3c from their list, but another ISP, 
Mikkelin Puhelin (MPY) has added it (dig/host).

To clear up some confusion: The blacklist isn?t maintained independently by 
ISPs but rather centrally by the Finnish Police.
The reason w3c isn?t being blocked by other operators is simple - they haven?t 
yet updated their lists to the latest version."

The blacklist has been reportedly updated and W3C is not blocked any more.
