Can you cite this to anything other than some mumbled comments in an interview? As far as I can tell IWF only claims to block "possibly illegal" materials, and I'm not aware of anyone arguing that the article text is possibly illegal. If they did it would add a rather nice book-burning wrinkle to the whole issue.
That's what the IWF's been consistently asserting to the press, that's what their rep said on Radio 4 Today when I was on and that's what many journalists have said to me that the IWF said to them. Given this, I feel confident in stating that the IWF really believe that they are required to block the page the image is on.
