Here is our wonderful government generating laws on a daily basis to control our every move and yet it appears that Plod doesn’t even have to use them when it comes to shutting down websites as the ISPs bend us over and let Plod have their way by disconnecting us when Plod asks. Because they are not using the law they don’t need to record the number of sites they have shut down. Read the story here.
No appeal, no discussion, just Plod deciding they don’t like a site and the ISP shuts it down for them.
It’s the reason I’ll be moving all my hosting abroad when I can get organised. At least that way Plod will have to actually do some work to get them removed in situations they actually can.
If it can’t be expressed in figures, it is not science; it is opinion. — Robert Anson Heinlein (1907 – 1988)
What a bunch of Wimps
