Google has delisted http://www.inquisition21.com , the website campaigning against many of the Operation Ore child 
pornography convictions. The last time the search giant's crawlers checked the site out was on 10 September.

Operation Ore, the UK's largest investigation into online child pornography, was the result of US authorities handing 
over credit card details on over 7,000 individuals whose details they had found on a porn portal that contained links to 
child pornography.
