IInet blocking websites?

[JHF1870]

I've just discovered, that my ISP IINet seems to block websites it chooses to do so, and there's a website I visit frequently, but they seem to have blocked it as other people say they're fine on the site. IF its true and they are blocking me from visiting this page, thats an outright violation of my rights. Who the **** are they to tell me what sites I can and can't visit. As far as I'm concerned that's censorship, and I'll piss them off if I find it to be true.

Is there any way I can circumvent this bullshit.

PS : I can't post the link to the website on this forum, but 100s of people in this forum frequent the site.

I'm really ****ing concerened about all of this. Where do they draw the line. Talk about cencorship in China. It's coming to Australia. Governments feeding us propaganda.

There's every chance that's just ****ed without the need for any ISP censorship.

Ok, I think I've sorted it out.

IInet definitely do block sites, but in this case I think the site changed their web address slightly.

They still give me the shits, horrible customer service, but really don't have too many alternatives.

And its true, they do block websites. but I don't believe I was slanderous, I used ? and words like Seems, and IF they..........

What a fun vignette this has been.

What a fun vignette this has been.

I know at least one person is grateful I started this thread.

But why not turn it into a ISP and censorship thread to keep it rolling

It is a real concern, that information can be censored. I've already heard reports of Youtube videos being censored.

Like bad reviews of movies/video games and products
anti religion videos
There is always the concern that powerful organizations like scientology could buy their way into censorship.

Think about it, if you're the government, the last thing you want is information being spread virally. The first thing you're gonna want to do is censor the stuff you don't want to get out.
