30+ websites blacklisted

Rumors have it that a list of about 30 websites have been announced to Iranian ISPs to be blocked. ISP association says that these are mostly porn and radical anti-Islamic websites.

I've asked people to submit any website that is blocked in a post in my Persian weblog. But I think we have to build a dynamic website to keep record of the blocked websites. Has anything like that been done by other people for like China etc.?

Update: There are different sayings about the real number of blacklisted websites, from 30 to 11,000

Hossein: I have submitted an item to Harvard's Greplaw Log in order to raise their awareness of the problem for you. You may wish to contact the Harvard Fellow named Ben Edelman there at the Berkman Center. He's the fellow who tracks this issue of blockages and censorship. I regret that I already 'cleaned' or shed my links to the China incident, but I'm developing a problem of accumulating too many links on my 'bookmarks' list which is bulging and overflowing. Once in while, I try to delete those links that I am not currently using or are no longer crucial.

Hossein; Take a look at this site; it's a research by couple of Harward Law School students. It includes links which leads to the list of sites banned by China, Saudi Arabia and etc. http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/filtering/
