“If you don’t think book burning is a fair analogy for blocked websites, may I remind you that the British Library’s wi-fi filter recently blocked users from accessing Hamlet due to its ‘violent’ content. Over the years there’s been a steady stream of reports of innocent websites getting swept up in overzealous copyright crackdowns, and free expression activists fear the same will happen under British Prime Minister David Cameron’s controversial ‘pornwall.’ A UK consumer rights organization wants to create a new error message, called ‘451 unavailable,’ to specify that a webpage wasn’t simply not there, it was ordered to be blocked.”
