British Telecom blocks child porn websites
hm_murdock:
Not so much in traditional eastern nations. For centuries, they preferred the very direct approach of "arrest and kill the badguy" rather than "cover it up".
That proves yet again that the east is superior to the west.

I don't think you can accuse BT of "covering it up rather than dealing with it". A telecom company doesn't exactly have the jurisdiction to shut down illegal websites in other countries.

Didn't know that the east and west were in a boxing match.

Death sentence for kiddy porn traders is a good thing. Blocking kiddy porn trading sites at the ISP is bad, because then the cops can't access them to verify that they really are kiddy porn, and there's always that chance that something not sick and disgusting can get blocked.....

I see your point. In fact, microsuck might get blocked because it has "suck" in it's name, and "kiddie porn" in one of it's threads.
On the other hand, I can sortof see the ISP's side too. They have to make sure they are not an accessory to a crime within a reasonable limit...
