How long before the censorship is extended to sites which help you bypass censorship?

#12Hah, 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!
so does this depend on your server? i've read your site - but i'm not clear if this routes traffic through your server or not

#13Am I the only one around here who tries to match every article with "Go" keyword with Golang?

#14Why 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.
Lots and lots of really negative publicity here in the UK. It blocks rape support sites and sexual education websites better than it blocks porn:

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.
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.
Maybe not the sex offenders list, but there will be a list and it will likely be leaked in all or part.

- What proxies are you using?
- If you set up your own proxies: How do you handle the costs?
- If you use someone elses proxy: How do you make sure they always work for your users?
- Does you extension only proxy blocked traffic? How do you know what is blocked? Is there an official list?

I would go with that if it were opt in. But deliberately, its not. Have to ask why, and what that implies. The whole point is to humiliate people who want access to porn. It has nothing what so ever to do with protecting children. The UK gov is enforcing a morality on the UK people which frankly its rarely applies to its self.
Also, BT are going to or are blocking proxy and proxy info sites. Why would any one want to opt in to that? Clearly this the beginnings of mass censorship, which I see no logical end to.
All this coming from the party which claims to be about personal choice and responsibility.

I'm using Squid to serve proxies, albeit a modified Squid.
On your 3rd point, it has a list, as well a manual activation button. It proxies only blocked traffic.
