The point is that this group goes around preventing other people from accessing this or that, and neither the website nor the visitors get a fair notification. The way they handled this one was loopy, and if Wikipedia didn't have such heavy traffic it probably would have gone unnoticed.
So what else *does* go unnoticed?

Overall, good. I'll also be blunt: the 'experiment' speculation at the
end
handed her a very strong close for the end of the interview.
Everyone's a
critic (and these things are so much easier to second guess after the
fact),
yet if another interview such as this comes up it would make a stronger finish to wonder how many other websites had been blocked by this organization's dubious assessments without appeal, and ask whether
they're
really qualified to play nanny to the public.
Apparently there is a way to appeal, but from I can tell nobody wants to tell us what it is.
How do we appeal whatever else they might be blocking? For all we know there could be dozens of other articles blocked now or in the future.
We only know that this page is being blocked because the traffic hijacking caused collateral damage and someone took a lucky guess.
True, right of appeal doesn't help much with the right to know what you are charged with.
