Interesting read from CNET:
(http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1005-200-2586200.html)

"Networking firm Akamai has been dragged into the censorware debate, thanks
to a hole affecting Web site blocking software that exploits the company's
data delivery system."

.....

"...the Akamai bug could raise new and potentially far-reaching questions
about the filtering responsibilities of Internet infrastructure companies.
Censorware technologies are mostly voluntary, but they may soon become
mandatory in some cases."
