Is your ISP Blocking "LittleGossip.com"

As it's fairly obvious to me that my isp who is blocking/censoring a web site forum
LittleGossip.com, the one featured in last nights Panarama, But why block it? it does not contain CP , So this nanny state censoring BS has started has it

Why is it obvious it's your ISP? It might be the site owners blocking a block of IPs belonging to an ISP.

As an adult, I'm trying to think of a good reason for a site designed for posting nasty things about others. For over-18s too it seems. Strange way to spend the best years of one's life.

Maybe site has been taken down. I just get a blank page, site is up but no content.

blank page here too, unless i use a proxy then the page loads, a tracert ends here 216.239.32.21 which belongs to Google, ???

Site could be blocking UK addresses to avoid litigation - bit of a stretch I know - be interesting to see if others can get to it without using a proxy. Google is listing it as first entry.

Maybe, censorship for bullying what next i ask,Bullying at school is part of growing up or was in my day, prepares most for the pressures in later life, not that i condone bullying but by blocking such sites all they do is increase awareness of this sites, i for one had never hear of it until i saw panorama, this country just gets worse,
Do they not remember the sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me rhyme

I don't know if it is or isnt, but mumsnet have a e petition running for it's closure,lol

According to this it's closed down.

In reference to www.fit4talent.com/news/all-over-for-little-gossip/363/:

"Little Gossip" a website used by school children to anonymously gossip about others has been closed down due to constant "malicious comments". The site was criticised by an anti-bullying charity last February for having schools on its list of places people are able to gossip about.

The owners of the site released a statement about the closure explaing their decission was due to the abusive posts which they claim is "something that we can not support".

Edit: Apologies. That last link, to the BBC, was dated February 2011; the first link is current though.
