I can still see it, not sure they are being blocked as is only an information site.

That is Probably because Comcasts is a American Company and TorrentFreak has NOT YET been Banned in Australia

That is what I do but you shouldn't need a VPN just to read News about Torrenting

the issue is a powerful private company censoring a perfectly legal news site. If they can censor a site like torrent freak what's to stop companies like google from censoring newsites that advocate against cutting corporate tax for example. The internet is a public space and private companies, within reason, shouldn't have the power to determine what people read/access.

Oh I agree with everything you said. It's just big companies & governments don't give a fat rats about our rights or privacy.
Hence I use a VPN

Will only get worse with that net neutrality stuff going down. Unfortunately whilst their legislation shouldn't affect us it will for obvious reasons...
