W3C.org Briefly Censored In Finland

k33l0r writes "The web site of W3C, w3.org or w3c.org, was briefly censored (Google Translation) by at least some of the local ISPs. For an unknown reason the URL was mistakenly entered into the Federal Police's censor database. Some of the Finnish ISPs use the database to filter out questionable content such as child pornography." Finnish online activist Matti Nikki describes some of the problems with this database-based censorship.

Grammar Nazi nitpicking

[Phroggy]

Thanks for translating for us. :-) A few grammatical notes for your reference:

because the address of the site had erroneously became included

The correct conjugation is "had become". I blame lack of sleep.

NBI and operators assured last spring, that...

The verb "assure" is never used without an object. You need to either provide an object (whom did they assure?) or use a different verb. Also, this comma should be omitted.

Many operators have also announced that they will make the filtering voluntary to their customers due to technical problems and negative publicity.

Did they announce this to their customers, or will they make filtering voluntary to their customers? If the former, you need to rearrange as "Many operators have also announced to their customers that they will..." If the latter, "to" is the wrong word here. I'm not sure the best thing to replace it with.

Internet operators gave an estimate for Tietokone magazine last spring, that implementing...

This comma needs to be removed as well, for the same reason. Also, this is somewhat awkward sentence structure.

Public relationship officer of DNA

This should be "DNA's public relations officer".

But there are still differences in the time how quickly the addresses on the list will end up in systems of different operators. W3C's address is known to have been end up also to the systems of Mikkeli Telecom Co-operative (MPY).

I suspect you got extra tired here. I'm pretty tired too though.
