How very Orwellian, even by tory standards.

My ISP (Virgin) is already blocking torrent sites... why is kind of hilarious when you want to illicitly download software that you actually paid for the license for but can't get at because the copyright protection on it has gone FUBAR. Sad

From section 19 of the universal declaration of human rights:

Quote:
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.


Any government implementing - or causing to be implemented - filters on any content not actually illegal is surely breaking this clause.

If you were a bit hammered, 'is erotic' and 'esoteric' could quite easily get all mixed up in your head.

Was there a party in the HMG Interweb Dibbles Dept the previous night, I wonder?

I vote we move this to The Conspiracy Threads...

Tories prevent search of esoteric subjects...Hancock's ongoing situation with TED...and the article in The Telegraph regarding the U.K.'s growing belief in ghosts!!

NWO doesn't want us believing in magic IMO! Shocked
