UK ISP Sky is about to start censoring the web for all of its customers

As part of its bid to sanitize and censor the web, Sky -- from the Murdoch stables -- is, as of today, enabling adult content filtering by default for all new customers: Sky Broadband Shield. The company wants to "help families protect their children from inappropriate content", and in a previous experiment discovered -- unsurprisingly -- that content filtering was used by more people if it was automatically enabled.

In summary, Sky will soon be censoring the web for all of its customer, unless a request for this censorship to stop is received. You have been warned.
