Title: ISPs Blocking Bitcointalk with "adult filter" in uk Post by: coinsolidation on July 02, 2014, 08:07:47 PM "the (UK) government has persuaded ISPs to introduce web filters that claim to protect children from content they shouldn't see online. In reality, filters block much more than they should leading to the censorship of information."

I know this is just a default setting, but still, the fact that they enable the protection by default makes it seem like I'm back in high school or something. But interesting that this is blocked too.

But interesting that this is blocked too. The thing is though just like in school we'll all get round this bullshit in about 5 seconds, I'm blocked from Kick Ass Torrents and Pirate Bay, doesn't mean I can't go on their whenever I want :P In my games design course they resorted to disabling the right click because we always got round their silly attempts to block us off from doing what we wanted, so one of the guys in our group went and hacked into the administrators account and the guy even came along to tell him off lol :D when I think about it we were way smarter than any one of those guys teaching at the place. |
