I have some experience with filtering software. For sites like ours,
what is likely is that specific pages will be blocked automatically
based on keyword analysis, but that the site as a whole will not.
Ok, then let me reformulate my question: if we introduce a category
based optional filtering in Wikipedia, will that in any way affect the
likelihood that some or all pages of Wikipedia will eventually be hard
blocked by schools? ("hard block" means: using some technology
different from Wikipedia's optional filtering.)
