censored ([2]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 [3]problems with this
database-based censorship.
