Only 1.7% of sites blocked by Scandinavia's "child-porn" filters are actually child porn

It seems that most of the sites on the anti-kiddyporn filters are simply fake. As well, they found that simply reporting sites that have kiddy porn, instead of blocking and ignoring them, got them immediately removed at the ISP level.

Which leaves the author of this story wondering what the list is for in the first place, since it is so easy to get the sites removed.

This is the same type of lip service that has been keeping the antivirus industry alive for years. It doesn't matter that 90% of the functionality claims are useless for absolutely everything except marketing.
