re: io.com & SurfWatch
Well, it turns out that (according to a nice person at SurfWatch who
put up with the rant I mailed in and send back a denial rather
quickly) io.com isn't actually blocked. At least, so they say. No
comment on whether there's anything like the "25 complaints" policy.
I don't own SurfWatch, but if anybody does and finds www.io.com
blocked, I'll send in another rant.
I wonder whether they've actually considered the liability situation
in re: blocking sites that shouldn't be blocked? I mean, sure, they
seem nice enough about setting things right (like with the Nynex sites
whose url's had "xxx" in the paths), but it seems to this non-lawyer
that a case could be made for damages inflicted by being known as a
purveyor of filthy indecency for even a short while.
