Yes, you read that correctly. UK Internet censorship, surely that can't be right - after all that kind of thing only happens in places like China and Iran does it not? Well you'd be wrong, because it's happening right now!

| 19-7-2010 | So what service providers do not censor ? and what search engines don't censor ?? is there any at all? | Arnie |
| 24-6-2009 | That was weird! Have been trying for ages to put a comment on the gripe about overfishing of dolphins and whales. I thought some sort of stop had been put on the gripe, but in the last couple of days other comments have appeared so that isn't the problem. So I tried again but got the message about there being a problem with what I had written. It seemed perfectly ok to me!
Normally I use AOL but suddenly started to wonder what would happen if I got here via Internet Explorer instead, and guess what? My comment appeared! What the heck is going on? Anyone got any ideas? | grumpyoldwoman |
| 10-12-2008 | Well actually..
"The online watchdog, the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), has withdrawn its objection to a Wikipedia page. The IWF now says that given the age and availability of the image, it was no longer on its list of proscribed sites."
So you're probably seeing the result of a U-Turn there.
However.. You're still being censored and the chances are next time some of you won't know about it. | Me |
| 10-12-2008 | My ISP is Demon Home. The Wikipedia page linked in the article loaded for me, as normal, no problem. I am reminded of the popular phrase, "The Internet interprets censorship as damage, and routes around it." | Phil |
| 08-12-2008 | Tony didn't you know, the government employ hundreds of thousands of people to surf the Internet all day looking for unsuitable images. They're called civil servants LOL | Jon |
| 08-12-2008 | Welcome to the Peoples Democratic Republic of Britain. So, now there are only 489,999 websites where you can find this picture. Better not let the IWF know. I'm glad there is an organisation out there to make my decisions for me because as a mature intelligent British adult, I am unable to think for myself.......However the question is, Who found this picture so offensive and what exactly were they searching for at the time? Virgins, Killers or both? | Tony |
