Maybe this is the  right newsgroup for this  discussion? I don't know.
Anyway, here we go:

Here at the University of Oslo some very influential people are trying
to shut down alt.sex and a number of  other newsgroups they  and their
friends find offensive.  Actually they have  already closed down about
ten groups (including the  entire alt.sex.  hierarchy)  for all of the
university  except  for the Comp.  Sci.  dept.    From what I've heard
they have also expressed a  wish to stop  distribution of these groups
in all of Norway.  What _really_ makes me worried is that these people
may carry enough political clout to make this happen.

Have  any of you   experienced   something similar?   Do   you have  a
suggestion about  how this should  be  counterattacked?   Do  you know
about a newsgroup that is more appropriate for this question?  Answers
to any or all of these questions are very much welcome.
