Finnish Court OKs Censorship Of Anti-Censorship Site
Found on Techdirt on Friday, 30 August 2013
Government entities are irony-proof, especially those most humorless of government entities -- the censors. Case in point: the Finnish Supreme Administrative Court has decided that the Finnish police did nothing wrong when it added an anti-censorship site to its blacklist.
A completely legal site, one that pointed out errors in the NBI's block list, was shut down for the children.
This is just so ridiculous. Enable censorship and it will be abused. It has always been like that. Censorship never worked as planned; it's just snakeoil and an attempt to hide problems which you cannot (or don't want to) solve.
