Article from theregister.co.uk, I initially found the story on the following french website: ecrans.fr.

"Six British ISPs are filtering access to Wikipedia after the site was added to an Internet Watch Foundation child-pornography blacklist, according to Wikipedia administrators.

As of Sunday morning UK time, certain British web surfers were unable to view at least one Wikipedia article tagged with ostensible child porn. And, in a roundabout way, the filtering has resulted in Wikipedia admins banning large swaths of the United Kingdom from editing the "free encyclopedia anyone can edit."

On Friday, Wikipedia administrators noticed that Virgin Media, Be Unlimited/O2/Telefonica, EasyNet/UK Online, PlusNet, Demon, and Opal were routing Wikipedia traffic through a small number of transparent proxy servers as a way of blocking access to the encyclopedia's article on Virgin Killer, a mid-1970s record album from German heavy band Scorpions."

This strangely seems like censorship, and whilst it's hard to argue about the actual picture, I find it hard to take that my isp can block content without letting me know about it (please see the page in question, which shows as blank in my browser.

It makes me wonder how many other pages are blocked and I just don't know about it, it also makes me realise that the great firewall of China is not so far away...
