Quote from: Tracer League of Legends updater gets block because it has the word s,e,x in it.

I think that turned out to be a red herring and not to do with a word filter. If you've seen more info on it, chuck it over though.

The world is changing....and the internet with it.
So far it has been open season on the web - and as is usual with everything the minority spoil it for the majority.
Just about everyone is fed up with the twitter trolls, the hate sites, the conspiracy theorists, the ranters, the purveyors of filth and the rest.
Then there are the idiots and halfwits who in previous generations would be in the corner of a pub spouting off their drivel and ignored by everyone - now they are on the web.
..and I haven't mention those who believe they are entitled in some way to free copies of just about every copyright item on the planet...and who seem to think the world revolves around what they want ----err no it doesn't.
There are those who will make claims they want freedom for information to flow on the web: yeah I'll bet - they presumably fall into the same category as those who demanded the freedom to hammer though a local road at 60mph when my council opened a consultation on reducing the limit to 40mph (it was adopted)....it really was quite extraordinary reading some of the justifications as to why the limit should remain as it was.
30 years ago - speeding was acceptable, drink driving happened, and limits we treated as advisory rather than mandatory. Now we have speed cameras etc and the next stage will be continuous monitoring by GPS recording black boxes in our cars.
So in due course too the internet will become restricted just like our driving has become restricted.
Perhaps VPN's will only be permitted for those on business tariffs, who knows what will happen next!
.......and the fault will be entirely due to those who abused the original freedom of the web.

Or failed to question local MP's on their policies instead of just voting on party lines.

@x47c The world is constantly changing and has been since the planet was created, many changes made by governments are not always for the grater good has they would have us believe, Local authorities are no different, they waste money on ridiculous ideas ,at the expense of more important things as well as get overpaid
Governments what to control the internet, because they fear it's power , they will try a number of different approaches by hoodwinking the people into believing that they have our best interests at heart, along with the scare stories to scare those with less knowledge about the internet into believing them
Our privacy is being eroded and it has nothing to do with what a few may of done, it's about governments wanting to control us more than they already do, The digital economy bill that was introduced at the end of parliament which paved the way for all this web blocking the porn filter that also filters other stuff too, and could easily used in the future to block anything that government doesn't want it's sheeple to see , once that the filtering becomes mandatory, so much for democracy ,
