This is not specifically related to a particular type of files but it sure could open the door for any ISP to scan for and remove any content based not on the file-type but the content.

The only question is whether the CGI script is functioning properly. Assuming that it is - slashdot.org CAN NOT be reached from the IP 69.28.64.14.
Apparently the 69.0.0.0/8 is enough of an issue that folks on that address space can't even read this article on slashdot.org.
