Orange mobile says Hackers are adults-only material
Sci
Hash: SHA1
Just been on the Orange website to see if I could see how long remains
on my contract before I can be rid of them and noticed my "Safeguard
parental controls" are switched on!
I had to call them last year to get that turned off after I found I
couldn't access LiveJournal, which had been declared an adult website. :P
Then I read the list of what they determine as adult content. Some
amusing and alarming!

hackaday for example. Had to go into a t-mobile store to get it
disabled but was fine. I imagine the other providers also have options
to disable these blocks.

My vodafone payg phone refused to install a java app for IRC until I requested they remove the block, but there was no charge.

The unfiltered service is the same price, but if you change from the
filtered one -- which they give you by default -- to the unfiltered
one you get charged a couple of pounds.

I don't know what the reasoning is but when I went into a Vodafone
shop they didn't even ask for my card, they just took one look at me,
decided I was over 18 and switched the block off. *shrug*
