This was a choice by a certain ISP, apparently Vodaphone. The fact that it could still be access via IP address shows that it wasn't an IP address block via court order.

That was following a court order.

This is entirely about a filter by O2, which can be opted out by any adult subscriber.


There is the Internet Watch list of child porn sites that all UK ISPs block.
There are court-ordered blocks for copyright infringement.
And then there are ISP-run block lists which an adult subscriber can opt out of.

You should not mix them up, as your article does.
