- I apologies if I might be asking a rather obvious question but...
-
- As I understand it certain newsgroups get filtered out before we
- get them in the UK. I admit that I tend to not agree with
- censorship anyway, and can just about understand why alt.sex.* groups
- get filtered out, but there are some that are filtered out unfairly!
-
- Does anyone know who is responsible for deciding which groups get
- filtered out, and how I could contact them.
-
- Although I can read these newsgroups via a publics access machine in
- the states, the lack of -general- access to a certain newsgroup in UK
- (for the moment I'd like to keep this to myself for personal reasons)
- is seriously hindering my contact with a certain 'sect' of people in
- the UK - which in turn is likely effect my future life/happiness rather
- severly. :-(
-
- Love 'n' Hugs,
