Wikipedia Added to Child Pornography Blacklist

Wikipedia Blacklisted

Wikipedia Blacklisted

Wikipedia has been blacklisted by a British online child pornography watchdog, causing almost every internet user in Britain to be blocked from contributing to the site anonymously.

The British Government-backed Internet Watch Foundation blacklisted Wikipedia over an article on the 1976 album Virgin Killer by German heavy metal band Scorpions.

At issue was a screen shot of the album cover, published with the article, that featured a naked, young girl with her genitals obscured by a simulated tear in the photograph.

(I will not post a pic of the album cover - I find it completely tasteless.)
