Bt blocking websites?

Dose anyone know if BT is blocking websites, quite a few sites I've noticed don't work anymore?

If you posted the details on here of the affected sites we could certainly find out by trying to visit them, have you tried using Down for every one ?

Well I know the sites work because I used a proxy. I really just wanted to know if they block sites that's all I'm not talking about any rude sites, just ones I'm sure a lot of people use

Sites can be blocked if they end up on the IWF filter. They don't have to be child abuse / other extreme adult images either for them to be added to the IWF filter.

At the moment, "Hotfile" is on the IWF filter (us Be* users are having some issues with the site), Rapidshare often ends up IWF'ed, and some time ago "Wikipedia" ended up being IWF'ed.

Generally though, if you can't get to a website then it's routing issues or the website itself blocking IP ranges.
