I just found these fascinating links which indicate that UK ISPs are blocking access to certain wikipedia pages; Virgin Killer is one example:
This discussion is not yet referenced by the media, as far as I know, but this action seems pretty extreme. cojoco ( talk) 23:55, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
I see no evidence of this message when accessing Sucralose-related content on said site. 81.129.129.82 ( talk) 15:02, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
Internet providers face child porn crackdown quotes a leaked letter saying 'a clause in the Police, Crime and Private Security Bill in the Queen's Speech would "compel domestic ISPs to implement the blocking of illegal images of child sexual abuse".' TRS-80 ( talk) 14:06, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
The Pirate Bay is now blocked in the UK. Porn is about to be blocked in the UK. - 88.104.82.167 ( talk) 18:20, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
This needs to go in, but requires organising and padding out:
People who send in cogent and polite responses to United Kingdom BT Yahoo!'s internet news stories have their posts immediately removed if they do not follow the political views expressed in the Yahoo article. This is easily validated. Complaints about Yahoo! censorship have been going on for years as a quick google search can verify.
I am very surprised that such active censorship has gone unmentioned in this article on UK censorship of the internet.

![]() | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Since the section 2011 and 2012 Court orders to block websites linking to potentially copyright infringing materials mentions the Pirate Party, the following seems like relevant information to add:
In December 2012, the BPI started legal action [1] [2] [3] [4] against The Pirate Party after the party refused demands [5] [6] [7] [8] sent at the end of November to remove their proxy to The Pirate Bay.
The UK's music industry body is set to take the Pirate Party UK to court in a dispute over offering access to banned site The Pirate Bay.
Music industry group the BPI is sending its lawyers after the UK Pirate Party after they refused to take their Pirate Bay proxy offline.
Now, BPI is said to be preparing its lawyers for a legal battle.
record label trade body the BPI is now preparing to go legal.
The UK's music industry body is demanding that a service offering a workaround to access banned site The Pirate Bay is shut down by its owner.
Yesterday, TorrentFreak received a tip that the BPI would issue the Pirate Party with a demand to shut down their Pirate Bay proxy service.
The BPI has asked the UK wing of the Pirate Party to remove its blockade-busting proxy for the notorious file-sharing site, but the fledgling political party has refused.
Kaye shows no sign of complying with the request
Of course, due to the conflict of interest disclosed on my user page and the fact that this is a legal issue involving my colleagues, it is not right that I add this to the article myself and a disinterested editor should check this for NPOV etc. -- M2Ys4U ( talk) 06:52, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
Well, the UK just banned pornograhpy again.

I just finished the first iteration of Web blocking in the United Kingdom
I've done a lot of include-backs to this page so as not to remove too much content. But now web blocking elements can be radically reduced. But what's the best practice for this? I don't know :( Deku-shrub ( talk) 22:46, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
The section marked "The controversial cover that caused Wikipedia to be blacklisted by the IWF" has a link to the alternate cover (which wasn't censored), whereas the other pages on this subject have a link to the correct cover. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.150.184.42 ( talk) 18:27, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
