As someone from the UK I’ve never seen anything blocked on my home Internet (except actual scam sites but you can turn that off, and yes that’s from my ISP and not the browser)
My mobile data does incorrectly flag some things as 18+ though
- RobotToaster 3y agoPlenty of high seas sites are blocked.
- wonderwonder 3y agoAre you required to provide doxxing personal information proving your age on these sites or can you browse anonymously?
- circuit10 3y agoOnly on my mobile data. They’re not actually 18+ sites though, for example someone’s blog that was posted here is blocked and it seems the Tor site is too But I think that’s a Vodaphone thing rather than a UK thing
- wonderwonder 3y agoSo private companies are able to decide the websites their customers are allowed to access?
- xp84 3y agoPretty sure that’s true in the US too, though not common I don’t know of regulation otherwise. Please correct me if I’m wrong, anyone
- infinityio 3y agoNo - the law that may end up requiring that is a proposal that is at least several months from being enacted [0], although it's been gaining momentum for several years - so unfortunately is looking like it might actually happen [0] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-6606560 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-6606560
- wonderwonder 3y agoIs there concern in the press with the state having access to this data and using it to leverage individuals?
- concordDance 3y agoI've seen a lot of things blocked, e.g. sci-hub
- rotanibmocy2 3y agoUgh I have news for you
- wsintra2022 3y agoSky and Virgin Media would often block sites I was trying to access, before I bought a vpn service. So yes the UK ISPs do block sites.
