britanski provajderi blokiraju vikipediju

[Guest]

At least six of the United Kingdom’s main Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have implemented monitoring and filtering mechanisms that are causing major problems for UK contributors on websites operated by the Wikimedia Foundation, amongst up to 1200 other websites. Some ISPs have blocked customers from accessing some Wikimedia websites including the free, online encyclopedia, Wikipedia, altogether. The filters appear to be applied because Wikimedia sites are hosting a Scorpions album cover which some call child pornography. The Scorpions are a German rock band who have used several controversial album covers and are perhaps best known for their song, “Rock You Like a Hurricane”. The measures applied redirect traffic for a significant portion of the UK’s Internet population through six servers which can log and filter the content that is available to the end user.

The filtering is in response to the Internet Watch Foundation’s list of websites that host or contain content that have been reported to contain inappropriate images of naked children, under the age of 18. The IWF considers those images child pornography. However, in the United States (where the websites of the Wikimedia Foundation are hosted), it is not considered obscene under the criteria of the Miller test, which requires that an obscene work lack “serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value” (as album art is used to “brand” the album, it is considered to be artistic). Contributors or individuals attempting to view an affected image or file, depending on their ISP, may get a warning saying, “we have blocked this page because, according to the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), it contains indecent images of children or pointers to them; you could be breaking UK law if you viewed the page.”. Other ISPs provide blank pages, 404 errors, or other means of blocking the content.

imho, centri moći su užasnuti nemogućnošću da cenzurišu internet, jer se razvio ispod njihovog radara (za razliku od novina, televizije, mobilnih...) pa mehanizme za to nisu stigli da implementiraju na vreme, nego sada pokušavaju na mala vrata, tobože štiteći nas od zlih pirata i pornićara. a možda sam previše paranoičan.

Iako sam zestoko protiv bilo kakve cenzure na internetu, koliko sam ja razumeo nisu blokirali celu wikipediju nego samo tu stranu. Sto i nije toliko strasno. Opet naravno tu stoji da je internet ogledalo nas samih, internet nam pokazuje onajav sadrzaj kakav mi to zelimo, to jest ako neko zeli da nadje deciju pornografiju on ce je naci ma koliko ISP-ovi to blokiraju.

blokiraju i tekst, ne samo sliku. a mnogo ljudi koji doprinose wiki sadrzhaju se zhale da ne mogu da edituju stranice.

Jay Walsh, a spokesman for the Wikimedia Foundation, which manages the encyclopaedia, said the removal of the page also appeared to have stopped thousands of UK users from editing articles on Wikipedia, which allows readers to self-edit its pages.

"It appears that there's a large number of editors - I can't say all - who appear to have access issues," he said.
