It reads:
Do not censor the internet. Please rethink forcing ISPs to Block “Adult” Sites.
As part of the Digital Economy Bill 2016-17 the government has officially announced that Mobile and fixed line broadband providers in the United Kingdom will be forced to block all “adult” websites. This is a slippery slope which can be used to force ever increasing censorship on undesirable views.
The bill also introduces a new power that forces payment services (e.g. VISA, Mastercard) to withdraw support from non-compliant sites. The legislation uses the term “adult content” (i.e. open to interpretation and mission creep.) Dating, self-harm support, social networks, different political views and medical sites have historically been tagged as “adult content“.
