“The first rule of censorship is that you cannot talk about censorship.”A few months ago, when
Wikileaks was blocked by Australian censors for leaking the Australian blacklist (later found to have legal websites in it), an editor famously remarked, “The first rule of censorship is that you cannot talk about censorship.” It seems as though a similar thing is happening with Finnish censors now where a website devoted to transparency was added to the government mandated censorship list.

När vi är där kan man se lite på Australiensisk lagstiftning. Ett av de möjliga villkoren (det första!) för att en film ska anses "objectionable" är att den:
"describes, depicts, expresses or otherwise deals with matters of sex,Jämför detta med David Eberhards bok "Ingen tar skit i de lättkränktas land" där han visar att människor kan bli kränkta av allt. För definitionen av kränkthet grundar sig i samma sak. Den subjektiva känslan av att bli kränkt.
drug misuse or addiction, crime, cruelty, violence or revolting or
abhorrent phenomena in a manner that is likely to cause offence to a
reasonable adult"
Slutkläm: Vi ska alltså censurera allt som någon vill censurera (då man kan anse sig kränkt baserat på...ingenting). Och ingen får veta vad som censureras. Way to go Demokrati!

Almost same problem in Denmark, although the police here did not dare censor WikiLeaks.
In December last year the danish censorship list was leaked on WikiLeaks.
In April this year the law was changed in Denmark, so that any journalist who wants to check if there really is child pornography on the censored sites can get a year of prison, if he finds child pornography on just one of the sites.
No we can't have journalists investigating this, because we cannot talk about censorship.
