Wow. I’ve never seen this class of ISP censorship. Is this some sort of government mandated system or has Vodaphone taken it upon themselves to do this?

The UK government told ISPs to put the filtering in place voluntarily, or else the government would make a law requiring it.

All of the major ISPs and mobile networks now do it on a voluntary basis.

It's pretty amazing that executive branch can enforce not just unimplemented but even undrafted laws.
