Web forums to be blocked

[TheFaQQer]

I see that the filtering system mooted has already been put in place by Huawei for TalkTalk, a Chinese company which was founded by an ex-member of the Chinese army and is used extensively in the UK already and recently there have been concerns that they are not totally above board.

Note that the TalkTalk solution still records everything that you do, and will flag whether you are looking at something that you "shouldn't". It just then doesn't apply the block.

Wrong. Big public sector project involving the usual suspects, costing amounts of money that require new numbers to be invented and turning out to be an abject failure.

What's that? Did someone say gravy train? How do we get on board?

No public sector work is required here. All this is is a legal requirement to expand filtering beyond the court enforced ban on newzbin and piratebay. Most Isp will already have appropriate filters from Huwai in place due to those court injunctions. This merely ensures they need to be configured a bit more and used far far more often.

Yep, I've heard that they're going to start blocking political websites, particularly those in opposition :-)

I noticed the bit about 'esoteric websites'. Does that mean censoring the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

So maybe to hide any UKIP related content on the web then
