Swiss ISPs doing DNS-Tampering ... not anymore.

Unnoticed by the international scene ISPs in Swizerland fought a blocking order by a swiss court adressing the blocking of http://appel-au-peuple-suisse.org (propably meaning http://appel-au-peuple.org), http://de.geocities.com/justicecontrol/ and http://www.swiss-corruption.com.

The court argued that the sites contained deliberate insults and asked for DNS-Tampering and blocking at proxy level. (Looks like DNS-Tampering against geocities.com seemed to be to harsh.)

Some providers complied but together swiss ISPs appealed the courd which lifted the blocking order last week.

The case seems significant, because the sites are not about p0rn, IP infringement, building bombs or hating ethnic groups but criticism about the swiss legal system.
