Finland has no longer freedom of speech!/Internet censorship

(First of all, sorry, I've lost the interest in Euro tracking, I think I was active here last time in 2002. But this is such an important issue so I felt compelled to re-register and post this.)
Electronic Frontier Finland's press release pretty much tells the case shortly in English:
http://www.effi.org/julkaisut/tiedottee ... 12-en.html
This is incredible. The site was only criticising the current law, and now the text is unavailable to most Finnish Internet users.
According to lapsiporno.info, this Internet censorship ('to combat child pornography') seems to be a trend in Europe. I think it's really a smokescreen to eventually censor all kinds of 'unwanted' content from the Internet. What do you think, can you tell similar cases from your country? At least the Pirate Bay banning in Denmark got publicity here in Finland too.
