Well I don't blame them for blocking it then. As we do have some sick people in this world, but I don't want them to start blocking everything because of something utter stupid.

You're complaining that they block child pornography?
(Unless I'm missing something) why are you posting pictures of child pornography on HxF? Are you an idiot?

CHILD PORNOGRAPHY
Learn the damn difference between nudity and pornography.

I never said it was. But if there are pics of say a naked kid on an album cover, yeah its a cover. But there is sick people in this world who would like print it off and hang it on the walls and do you know what to it. It may sound wrong, but there you go LOL. Although that is a bit sad tbh <_<

This is quite pathetic... soon they will be blocking petty stuff on the internet (on a connection we pay for).

Be glad you don't live in Australia lol, soon they're getting that compulsory filter that blocks most +18 sites and they reckon it'll halve speeds.

Damn their government

[Indie-Dan]

That is ridiculous, you pay these companies so you can use the internet and they sensor stuff out? I'd be fuming if I were you - sensors should only be put on the internet if the user needs be.

I'll stick with good ol' Sky tyvm, gives me my TV aswell

I thought they were using the same system and blacklist as the UK?

Sky are part of this... they use the Internet Watch Foundation's (IWF) blacklist, as do a lot of other ISPs.

Yeah but surely that's them just keeping an eye on what you view so you don't look at stuff you're not supposed to, as opposed to censoring the stuff like on your ISP?

Nope, the IWF influence like 85% of Britains ISPs.
