Is this fair?

[Churchill]

Why not contact the BNP and EDL and explain that you want to access their sites but can't because your ISP won't let you access an adult site. They then kick up a fuss, get the oxygen of publicity about how they are being unfairly treated etc., and the block gets lifted.

Or ask Vodafone why the sites are being blocked, since they aren't adult sites, just racist ones.

The BNP and EDL websites are racist? Where's your proof?

In the B&B last night, I did , as I often do, and had a trawl of political websites.
I'm currently on a Vodaphone dongle & what happenedast night shocked me somewhat.

While I had no problem accessing the mainstream parties ( including ukip) access to the bnp and edl was blocked. Unless I verified myself with a credit card. On the other hand, I had no problem accessing sites representing the extreme left, e.g. communist party of Britain.

Fair enough?

Of course it is wrong. All censorship of the internet is wrong.

Well, we've got to put those super-computers at the NSA and GCHQ to some use!

But you can always sign up for the pr0n, and of course your name will not be held on a list that will then be hacked & published as a list of paedophiles & perverts who should be removed from society

And they'll never extend the list to block things they politically oppose, or use it to smear opponents

Next year it will get worse

Part of the pron law being introduced any 'esoteric' content will be blocked by default which seems to be anything the government doesn't like which it can get away with blocking such as pagan websites
