Wait. My website is blocked/censored in the UK? Can you email me with details?

I sent your article to my partner this morning and she tried to access it on her phone on the Virgin Mobile UK network.

She couldn't access the article or your homepage. I just asked her to try again and it's being caught in their adult content filters or something. False positive? Maybe there is some adult content on the site?

Maybe another Virgin Mobile UK user can try it. They presumably would still have to have their content filters active.

It works for me on a non-Virgin IP. It may be Virgin Media (home broadband), or Virgin Mobile (mobile internet) that blocks it.

On what grounds? Can you provide more detail? Would rather not have the site be blocked if I can help it..

Sorry, I meant to point out that there are two possible ISPs that the user might have trouble accessing it on. To my knowledge, no UK ISP blocks content by an automatic or specific filter, aside from the Pirate Bay of course.

ISPS in the UK are blocking sites as "mature" when they are not.

I have yet to see an outcry.
