All UK ISPs do. It's very annoying trying to access sci-hub
- petecooper 4y ago>All UK ISPs do. Not all of them. I’m on Zen, no filters as far as I’m aware, sci-hub works fine. Libgen is fine. Torrent sites that the ‘main’ ISPs block come up just fine, too. Edit: some of the ISPs that do seem to land on this URL (note http) – http://www.ukispcourtorders.co.uk http://www.ukispcourtorders.co.uk whois shows BT (large ISP and telco) as the owner.
- vidarh 4y agoNo, they don't all do that. Those kind of blocks are mostly confined to a handful of the larger ISPs, and especially the mobile providers. I've yet to manage to find something my current ISP blocks, for example. Might well be they block something, but none of the "usual suspects" that I'm willing to test (e.g. Pirate Bay, Sci Hub)
- rjsw 4y agoAndrews and Arnold doesn't do any filtering.
- daveoc64 4y agoAll of the major ISPs and mobile networks do. The UK government threatened to make it a legal requirement that all internet connections have filters for adult content on by default. The major ISPs and mobile networks voluntarily put filtering in place by default to avoid the regulation. The filters can usually be removed quite easily. While there are some smaller ISPs that don't put filtering in place, they account for something like < 10% of the market.
