I never thought it would really happen in Finland - the Finnish police high-handedly decide to censor an anti-censorship website. The website lapsiporno.info (wikipedia) has been blocked by most Finnish Internet service providers. The view is pretty bleak:
Short English description on the censored site reads “The Child Sexual Abuse Anti-Distribution Filter (CSAADF) is part of the COSPOL Internet Related Child Abusive Material Project (CIRCAMP). The project is initiated by the European Police Chief Task Force - aimed at combating organized criminal groups behind commercial sexual exploitation of children.”
So censoring an Internet activist’s site is done in an effort to combat organized criminal exploitation of children? The police better have good information about Matti Nikki’s involvement with organized crime…
There are plenty of mirrors out there, but here’s one more (hosted on wstryder.org) and another, on another ISP (just in case).
