Didn't the UK run into a problem a decade-ish ago where the group compiling the list of porn sites to block by default included the websites for their rival political parties? I just tried searching for references, but I can't find anything with details. I can't speak with certainty and it sounds like it was just a grunt being a jerk, but still a risk with these types of restrictions.
