Online Mediation

A decision by a number of UK internet providers to block a Wikipedia page showing an image of a naked girl has angered users of the popular site.

BBC NEWS | UK | Wikipedia child image censored

This just hit my RSS reader in flock. It's quite interesting to know that ISP's are actually blocking websites based on complaints from other people, are we going to see online mediators in the near future? I hope not! The internet's the one place where we can freely share ideas and collaborate without mediation, we don't need a virtual nanny state, we're already being told what we can and can't do in the real world!
