Just wondered: If the adult content filter is ISP-level, can you deactivate it or like in this case report false positives?
It sound's as orwellian as Apples certificate shenanigans.
- Reason077 6y agoYou can deactivate it by verifying your age with a credit card or photo ID. Vodafone don't seem to offer a way to report false positives, but I've seen that option with other providers.
- 0xffff2 6y agoWhat age do you have to verify? Don't you already have to be an adult to sign up for service?
- Reason077 6y ago18 years old to verify. You don't have to be an adult to sign up for service, it's available as pre-pay etc. Debit cards and bank accounts are also available to under-18s in the UK if co-signed by a parent/guardian.
- elliekelly 6y agoI’m so curious how this even works? Do all ISPs in the UK have an adult content filter on by default?
- Reason077 6y agoI believe the majority of UK ISPs now have content filtering on by default for new connections, and all mobile providers have it. This is a voluntary industry code of practice, not a legal requirement. For some time there was talk of making it law, enabled by a clause in the Digital Economy Act 2017, but this was abandoned in 2019. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_blocking_in_the_United_Kingdom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_blocking_in_the_United_Kin...
