Re: Debian-Women webpage possibly filtered by Telefonica

[Javier Candeira <javier@candeira.com>]

I have been reading about Canguro.net, the Telefonica filter. It is a 
"client-server" thing (their description, not mine), i.e. the filter does 
not run on our computers, but on their proxies.

That means, among other thing, the list filtered sites can't be 
reverse-engineered or decrypted, as US hacker-activists have done with 
netnanny and other products.

It also means the technology to filter web content is already in place, at 
least in Spain. Doubly so as Telefonica, as the incumbent monopolist of 
yore, is the wholesale provider of DSL connections for other DSL vendors, 
thus having 99% of Spain's DSL lines.

Nice, eh?

Before I call the Telefonica press people with my questions, will someone 
please post a screenshot of what you see when trying to access the 
debian-women website?
