The article quotes one of the principals of Andrews & Arnold ISP, which has for a long time traded on providing "real" internet - i.e. unfiltered. Their response to the legal requirement to provide a "filtered" option was a "I want filtering" button on the sign-up page that took you to the results of a Google search for UK ISPs. As far as I'm aware, complying with this legislation could force A&A to impose filtering on all their users for the first time. Would certain mailservers become out-of-bounds? Presumably it would remain possible to ping any IP address, because that doesn't depend on URLs, and the explanatory note seems to say that URL blocking would be sufficient. Anyway: this kind of nonsense is why I run an Unbound recursive resolver.
