Personally, I'm still amazed that they _don't_ publish the list, so those of
us not paying the certified American filtering companies can protect ourselves
by adding these url's to our own filtering software - or ISP's do the same by
adding them to blocking lists. They demand we filter out certain pages, but
refuse to tell us what those pages are - but they _will_ tell the overseas
filtering companies (they claim - we can't verify they're doing that, either).
How does one go about getting such a job, where review of performance is
impossible yet the money still flows?
