Actually I have been using Vodafone Mobile Broadband here in London and it has the same kind of filter. Somehow it disappeared after three weeks. It didn't seem to be as bad as this one from O2 since I did some tests and I was able to see erotic images without a problem, only porn sites seemed to trigger the filter. That and also maybe 5% of all the different sites I have visited on the last month.

- ionfish 16y agoMoral panics have a long history here; a lot of it is due to the sensationalist media culture. Government clampdowns are usually the result of whipped-up public hysteria.
- dspillett 16y agoThere is definitely a filter on Vodafone contracts (I use my netbook tethered to my phone), or at least there was in the past. It blocked reddit at one point. I access things via my VPN when I'm mobile anyway these days (to keep non-HTTPS connections from prying eyes when I'm on public wireless) so I'd not notice a filter these days.
