Umm... I'm in the UK and I can see the page fine. Why would you expect this page to be censored?

I am in the UK and I can't see it unless I use a VPN. I get This site can’t provide a secure connection annas-archive.li sent an invalid response. ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

  I'm going to guess the key differentiator here is "major ISPs". I can see the page fine using a Zen Internet connection, but from my phone, which uses EE, it's blocked.

    I can access it from both my mobile and fiber connections, different ISPs. I'm with smaller players so maybe that's it.

Also in the UK and can also see it fine. I wonder if it's blocked simply by DNS manipulation and therefore only people using the ISP DNS have issues.

Others have already posted, but the biggest domestic British ISPs block a variety of things, like SciHub, Libgen, Pirate Bay, or Anna's Archive. Coverage varies a lot though, so I assume ISPs have some discretion and enforcement is patchy.

  This isn't the case for me with Anna's Archive or Sci-Hub. I use the biggest ISP, and both are fully accessible.
  - petercooper 8mo ago
    Implementation of this stuff must be very patchy then as both are off on my top 5 provider until I use a VPN. Which makes me wonder why any of the ISPs bother blocking at all, if they can just pick and choose?

      I've just seen there is a court order against the .org site, going back to 2024. So presumably some ISPs are more proactive about extending the ban to backup domains.

    I'm assuming BT? If so then their blocking is DNS based and if you are not using their DNS then they will block these sites
