#2Hah, this is weird. I created GAC, and submitted this a few hours ago, but got not much love. And now you have some :) Anyways, the server is having a serious hug of love. Things are slowed down now.
Anyways, AMA!

#3Why not just opt out of the filter? Or use one of the many smaller ISPs who don't implement the filter in the first place? You don't need plugins/extensions.

Ironically, my work filters mean I can't access the site. But if it does bypass censorship then it makes a good political point. How much has this cost? How much publicity has it got Cameron? If it can be bypassed without any trouble then it is pure theatre.

Opting out of a porn filter would probably see you added to some sex offender list within a few years. This is probably a better option if you're stuck on some ISP for some reason.

Why hassle with red tape if you can just sidestep the entire issue?

I doubt it. Or I'm going to have some trouble. I reckon a large proportion of people will opt out and I wouldn't be surprised if they try to remove the opt out option in the future.

One opt out I've seen requires a credit card. One might not have one. Before you ask, me. I have an internet connection, but no credit cards.
Not all ISP cover all of the UK.
You also assume that the person wanting to bypass the ISP filter is the same person controlling the connection. So, say a 16yo wants to explore homosexuality, but is not ready to discuss this with parents who simply didn't bother opting out because they simply didn't think it was necessary.
Plenty of cases for using this extension, especially in the UK when we are routinely lied to about the scope of laws, and mission creep is universally denied, while it happens. For example, anti terror laws used by local councils to investigate fly tipping. We know that sooner or later other subject areas will be blocked by this distopian nut job government. Anything they feel is not in the public good will be considered and possibly censored. Make no mistake, this is the thin end of the wedge. We also know that it was originally dreamed up by the previous Labour government, so we wont get any changed even if we boot this lot out. Anything that bypasses these vile thought control freak nanny filters, and exposes the technical impotence of them is welcome. Remember, we dont have freedom enshrined in fundamental law. Its a granted privilege here, not a right. Oh, Human Rights act. Yup, this government wants rid of it. If Americans think their freedoms are under threat, the threat in the UK is many factors higher.

IIRC even the small providers have to implement filtering with the IWF blacklist, so there's no way to get a filter-free experience.

HAH! I had a friend one day in tears because her bf had some porn on his laptop. She was shocked, outraged etc.
She owned a dildo.
Some people have horrific double standards, unless people make a stand against censorship (unlikely) or their desire for porn (even less likely). This is only going to get worse.
