    isp's shouldn't be censoring anything without a top judges ruling.


    The law says they have to "censor", the only time a judge would come into it is if the ISP or a customer decides to challenge the law. I'm not aware of that having happened yet.

    What am I missing?


    30 years old "schoolgirls", stepmothers who get stuck in strange places and cleaners who turn up to work wearing very inappropriate clothing.

    This is a list of the sites blocked in the uk, probably not complete though. Seems more about copyright, than !!!!!! or children, but only officially to the big five isps - was determined by the number of subscribers.

    The government introduced legislation making it a legal requirement for adult filtering to be opt-out. Given nobody has challenged this in court it seems to not be a problem.

    I've heard about the "stuck" !!!!!!, always seems a bit bizarre niche sort of thing given the setups I've seen but whatever floats your boat

    An ISP is a private entity, they can block whatever they like. The current !!!!!! "ban" going through the UK will require you to identify yourself in some way to the !!!!!! sites to prove you are old enough to see it. That's ridiculous government level censorship but what can you do? I already downloaded Tor in preparation because I don't see why the UK government has the right try and control what I can and can't watch in my home
