Unlike existing blocklist in the U.K., Bell's plan appears to involve no judicial oversight. "'Engaging in extrajudicial attempts to block access to sites, I think, raises all kinds of Charter of Rights and Freedoms issues,' argues Michael Geist, a University of Ottawa professor and internet law expert."
