When I bought a throwaway GiffGaff SIM while I was waiting months for BT to set up my broadband, it had content blocking on by default. They wanted me to send a picture of my driver's license to lift the restrictions.

I'm not sure what I'm more disgusted by: the fact I need to give away my identity to have unfiltered (except the outright blocked stuff) access to the internet, or that I caved and gave it to them anyway.

I guess I should be happy proof of identity wasn't required to buy or activate the SIM in the first place.
