I know there is a lot of discussion on this topic
going around at the
moment. I was just wondering if the site-blocking will be enforced on
our VPS's, is Bitfolk the kind of ISP they are going for? Do bitfolk
have to now monitor our connection packets? I'm aware that they say
they are going for compyright-infringing sites...but it seems like a
slippery slope down to me (where does it stop, YouTube has plenty of
fan videos) and I'm sure a lot of you are with me on the issue of
freedom of speech, i'm fairly sure before long we will have the "Great
Firewall Of Britain"
Since Bitfolk isn't an ISP (they don't supply Internet connections to
either business or residential premises) I would hope the new rules
won't apply to them. I would be surprised if any kind of filtering
(including the older IWF blocklist) was implemented.
Please will Andy, or someone else in the know, make a statement on what
filtering, throttling or other traffic control is currently implemented
or is anticipated?
Thanks,
Paul.
