[liberationtech] Tor Project website blocked by many UK ISPs as "adult content"

[Griffin Boyce]

This is only for customers who've opted-in to adult content filters. 
Some ISPs have the content filter on by default:

"EE, O2, TalkTalk and Vodafone all came with their default "adult 
content" filters enabled by default. The following ISPs provided no 
filtering by default: 3, Andrews & Arnold, BT Broadband, Plusnet, Sky 
Broadband and Virgin Media."

They also mention that blocking for some sites seems to vary by region, 
so I'm curious what a more in-depth review would find.
