The IWF an unlected censorship organisation

Regarding the Wikipedia censorship, the IWF textually says "the image has been around for a long time", so it is OK to unblock it.

Either it is child porn or it is not, the fact that it has been around for a long time means nothing, there are lots of child porn out there that has been around for years and it still remains illegal.

The IWF has their knickers in a twist, they cant even admit they are classifying works of art as child porn.

I wouldnt trust these people to classify my book collection,lets alone the internet sites I visit.
