What would be useful for this is possibly making a utility to scan news
messages for url's and removing those (using the util to scan newsgroups
like alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.whatever). However I think you'd run
into ACL lists that are so long squid slows down to a crawl. *IS* there a
limit on the amount of ACL lists squid has?

Mebbe someone could even run such a util and provide a service by allowing
people to download the list once a week or fortnight or whatever...??
