No, but anything involving child porn is likely to get blocked in a lot of 
places, so it can't be a surprise that a site with that name is blocked, 
regardless of the content.

I suspect that site would have been blocked anyway no matter what its 
contents were, but the fact that it contains heavy criticism of the very 
organisation that decides what gets blocked, it's no wonder it's blocked.  I 
mean even if the owner protests that his site shouldn't be blocked, the 
officials are likely to put his request to the bottom of the pile and 
generally do all they can to make sure it stays blocked.
