Comment Possible error in study (Score 1) 127
It seems to me that there is a possible error in this study, and here it is:
If the censorware system blocks all domains that have porn in them, the porn may not be at the top level of the domain, and so looking at the top level of the domain could make it apear as if it was not a porn site when it did have adult content on it. For example: I'm sure that there is some porn somewhere on Earthlink.net, so if a system blocked Earthlink.net, they could technically be blocking porn, even if you went to www.earthlink.net it would not appear to be a porn site.
That being said, down with censorware.
