Re: [squid-users] readymade blockinglist for nazistuff

I also use a squid backed application that is in use where children are,
and the people running the org's that these are going DO NOT want to take
any chance of a 8 year old looking at any hardcore anal sex shots and the
like. I agree with freedom of speech, but if your providing a service to
children for their parents, you dont want little johnny coming home
telling mom how his friend was chatting with a real live nude stripper.
