Seth Finkelstein writes “The Free Expression Policy Project has some excellent

“Equally important, this victory has dug us ever deeper into the
Internet filtering trap – the embrace of a technological “fix” that,
with its mechanistic, heavy-handed use of key words and phrases in

and far more irrationally, than even a vague criminal law. Magna cum
laude graduates, fans of “Marsexploration,” and lovers of “pussy
willows” beware.””
