Has your website been unfairly blocked by censorware?

To follow up on my earlier post, in response to Glenn...

I can't use VPN's, or any IM sites, including AIM, Gchat, Meebo, etc.

I also can't go to tor.org, which is blocked as an "anonymizer."

Stupid workaround: (i.e. stupid that it works) Google's Cache or archive.org.

I work for a state AG's office, and BoingBoing is, sadly, blocked by SmartFilter...

Why? "Nudity."

Other blocked sites? Anything with "blog" anywhere in the address is blocked as "personal pages."

Theonion.com... "Profanity"

Victoriassecret.com... "Provocative Attire."

Interesting site not blocked? erowid.org.

Go figure.
