tor provided me first warning of corrupted ISP name servers

Is there a site that acts as a repository for instances of net blockage. In many cases, Internet censorship is transparent to to user. If we can get the word out as to exactly what is being blocked where, then perhaps we can also get the word out about how to get around these kinds of blocks (Tor). That could dramatically increase the user base, thereby strengthening the anonymity of the network.

Best regards,

For those of us using Timewarner in New York state, Tor provided the same information.  According to recent news, TimeWarner is blocking "child pornography" by blocking traffic to all newsgroups.  If you are a Tor server admin in New York State, make sure you change the default DNS servers that are provided by the ISP.
