UK phone operator EE blocks access to Forum pages

Hi EC

just a quick heads up, my cellphone operator EE in the UK is blocking access to the Forum pages on this site unless you age verify. Access to other pages within the site are allowed.

Would you like me to send them a letter about preventing teen suicide or do you have a standard letter for website blocking?

It looks like it was a temporary fault because I can now access the blocked pages. The fault was however very specific to certain pages, including Forum and Members, within the EC website rather than the entire site which is indicative of a deliberate attempt at content filtering so I will ask EE for an explanation. If it was just a lost page or simple DNS error I would have received a page not found message or similar rather than a content blocked – please verify age page.

Thanks gazwkd

I’ve tried to confirm if it was a one off or it’s something real. I attempted to login to my EE account to setup adult content blocking to test this but the EE website was all screwed up and kept crashing every time I tried to select what sort of content blocking I wanted. Apparently EE are doing maintenance on the site at the moment.

I will try again in a week or so when EE have got their act together.
