After numerous reports of harmless sites being blocked as “inappropriate,” Britain’s new Internet content filters are currently best known as a nuisance. Rather than succeeding in their intended purpose of protecting children from online porn, they’re managing to block hundreds of innocuous sites—including the homepage of the pro-censorship politician who campaigned for the filters to be introduced.
Almost every major ISP in the U.K. has now implemented the content filters, which act as a kind of “net nanny” service to block hardcore porn, extremist political sites, drugs, alcohol, violence and suicide-related content, and a selection of other topics deemed inappropriate for children to be viewing online. When setting up a new Internet connection, customers are given the option of modifying or opting out of these content filters, but it still took less than 24 hours for someone to create a proxy service that allows people to circumvent the filters if they didn’t have access to their own ISP.
