Like all censorware, X-Stop blocks a number of ISPs. We won't bother to list them all, but one deserves a particular mention: Execulink Internet Services Corporation. Why? Properly, it advertises itself as a "family-friendly" ISP. It rates with RSACi (zeros across the board, indicating no sex, no violence, no profanity, and no nudity), and its terms of service include the following:

"PROHIBITED MATERIAL AND ACTIVITIES

"To protect our subscribers, the security of our facilities, and our reputation and good standing on the Internet network community, Execulink specifically prohibits the storage on our servers, subscriber web sites or other Execulink facilities, any information or content which in our exclusive opinion is potentially illegal, defamatory, 'ADULT' or 'HATE' information or material, unlicensed copy righted materials, or which contains links or directs visitors to sites which contain information or content prohibited on our facilities."

And yet, it's been blacklisted for its gross pornography, child pornography, and bestiality. Go figure.
