FWIW, I am the author of the Internet Filter and have just blogged about all this.

Since I have added the denmark list to the internetfilter.com list, and the internetfilter.com list is transparent and publicly available, I have posted the new items on internetfilter.com.

I developed The Internet Filter back in 1995, to help show that parents can have the power to control what their children see on the internet and that specifically, this is the parent's responsibility and not any governments.

After it was released, we licensed some of the technology to a third party that used their own database which catered more to the right wing conservative customer base.

Then, the whole Monica Lewinsky thing came to light. The filter blocked the government web site which contained the explicit details of the dress, cigar, and other fun stuff.

But of course, this was not what the customer base wanted. They wanted to be able to read about all the dirty details that the president did.

Turns out that what is "Pornographic" is highly politically and culturally specific.

It was then requested that "All *.gov domains should not be blocked even if the content would have been blocked if it were on a *.com domain"

You can see our entire database at research.vision-options.com. Apparently, a lot of people use our list as a jumping off point for their porn adventures. This causes a lot of bandwidth usage...

So we put ads on our list page as well as more information about porn addiction, internet filter circumventors, and other topics.

Without people being scared of porn on the internet there would be no need for internet filters.

I wrote the first available internet filter for windows 3.1 The Internet Filter specifically because it is the parent's responsibility to decide what their children should and should not see, not the government's responsibility.
