UK ISPs Are Censoring Wikipedia
Found on Slashdot on Saturday, 06 December 2008
After some research by Wikipedians, it appears that the image of the 1970s LP cover art of the Scorpions' 'Virgin Killer' album has been blocked because it was judged to be 'child pornography,' and all other attempts to access Wikimedia foundation sites from these ISPs are being proxied to only a few IP addresses.
The filter is fairly easy to circumvent simply by viewing the article in some other languages, or by logging in on the secure version of Wikipedia.
So much for uncensored Internet access. Take a look at the cover and see for yourself if it qualifies as pornography at all.
