Submission + - UK Moots Internet Censorship Powers for ISPs (ispreview.co.uk)

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes: A key UK government minister, Ed Vaizey (Minister for Culture, Communications and Creative Industries), has ominously proposed that internet providers (ISPs) should introduce a new Mediation Service that would allow them the freedom to censor third party content on the internet, without court intervention, in response to little more than a public complaint. Vaizey anticipates that internet users could use the "service" to request that any material deemed to be "inaccurate" (good luck with that) or privacy infringing is removed. No doubt any genuine complaints would probably get lost in a sea of abuse by commercial firms trying to attack freedom of speech and expression.
