UK Govt's Censorware Blocks Tech, Civil Liberties Websites
A few days ago, we mentioned that the UK's ISP-level censorware software not only does a poor job of its stated job (blocking porn), but blocks at least some sex education sites, too; now, reader badger.foo writes to say that's not all: "It fell to the UK Tories to actually implement the Nanny State. Too bad Nanny Tory does not want kinds to read up on tech web sites such as slashdot.org, or civil liberties ones such as the EFF or Amnesty International. Read on for a small sample of what the filter blocks, from a blocked-by-default tech writer."
I mean, where will the people in the UK get their week old news from!
I kid but in all seriousness this is exactly why the filters should be done by the individual, We dont need the government telling us what is best for us, especially when the filters cant seem to tell the difference between "porn" and slashdot. I guess we can all blame AC for posting goatse every day
have you seen my sig? there are many others like it but none that are the same

A comma? Did it punctuate you?
Irony? I sure as hell would like a webfilter for kids filter out the webpage of perverts.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
If you do that, Wales might have to secede from the United Kingdom.
