advertising the sale of : viagra, sex slaves, ak47s, porn of any kind, human trafficing services, specific animals, cocain, data obtained through espionage, encryption technology, vpns, gay propaganda, military propaganda, etc is subject to applicable local law (if any, and if there is none, it's perfectly fine)... not 'spamhaus policies' as spamhaus is not supposed to be 'the internet government'. even if they think they should be.
if the uk wants to keep certain products from entering 'their'
territory (and in doing so limit the freedom of their own
stakeholders/tax payers) that is up to them others choose not to
work against their own stakeholders/tax payers that way. they have
a customs department to keep said products outside. can't tell
others not to produce or sell or advertise it. setting up dirty
front operations like 'spamhaus' to lure naive nerds into the
illusion that they would be 'fighting spam' is a very nasty thing
to do. geo-political wise and business wise.
now... in thailand porn is illegal... so... let's disconnect all porn sites because thailand wants us to, oh but wait, thailand doesn't have a 'spamhaus' thinking they rule the entire internet through means of blackmail and calling people 'spammers' or 'spam supporters'.
what also works, besides blackmailing with committing computer
sabotage against the sales department of suppliers of suppliers of
suppliers of the publisher of a website, are: assassins,
commandos, carpet bombing, agent orange. etc... all of which
should be deployed against spamhaus if you ask me. :P but a
nullroute would suffice. lol. after all bgp is an 'advisory' to
'voluntary peers' and 'we don't block anything' as they themselves
always say.

Looking at the amusing rant of Sven Olaf, it seems that the listing works!
Keep up the good work, spamhaus et al!
