Why does this affect you in any way, Jon? You aren't in the UK.

I'm a little surprised you'd want to visit the type of sites that are blocked. The reason they're blocked is precisely because they are illegal. I'm sure you don't want to visit sites that promote paedophilia and child pornography!

These sorts of filters are, in practice, extremely hit and miss. The Australian experience showed false positives for sites of dentists, tuckshops, tour operators, and dog boarding kennels, as well as religious sites, legal porn and fetish sites, a political anti-abortion site, etc.

Was that some kind of automated filtering? The IWF list is manually maintained - it's not a "keyword" filter; they're the ones that tend to go badly wrong.

If people are really interested, they should visit the Internet Watch Foundation's web site.

I still don't know what the English Hight Court has to do with Scotland.

Months ago an English footballer went to the High Court to stop people Publishing articles about him and what he was doing, this covered online and offline. But it was not applicable to Scotland.

If there are ISPs based in Scotland or Northern Ireland an application would have to be made in those jurisdictions. Same for the Irish Republic.
