Here in the UK new "filters" are being introduced by ISP at the government's insistence (and to be backed with legislation if necessary). Said to be aimed at paedophiles - who can argue with that - the actual filters will also hit any subject the government deems objectionable. For example, this forum would be targeted.

A good intro to where we are headed in the UK
Before reading this - and prompted by Magda's al-Libi posts - I had searched for a pdf of Annie Machon's 'Spies Lies and Whistleblowers' (currently £408 for a new copy on Amazon:
: ). One of the results was the 'kick-ass' torrent site. I tried to go there and got a 'site blocked message' from my ISP (BT). I have already made it crystal clear to them - and in no uncertain terms - that I strongly object to ANY filtering, so this is NOT a discretionary block and it is now happening with increasing regularity for DMC blacklisted sites. I connected to one of the vpn services I use and got to the site thru that. However, for sure these DMC blocks are simply a dress rehearsal for what is to come and most people will not have a clue anything is being done to interfere with what they are allowed by Nanny to see.
