Internet Censorship Gone Too Far?

Sunday, December 7th, 2008 | politics

The BBC reports that Britain’s Internet Watch Foundation has added a Wikipedia page to it’s list of websites and webpages that Britain’s internet providers should block. The page is about the band, The Scorpions, and contains an image of their album, Virgin Killer, and therein lies the problem. The album cover features a naked pubescent girl.

So the questions arises. Have they blocked the page on The Scorpion’s website? Have they blocked the Amazon page for this album? Now, I have no opinion either way, I just want to know why they haven’t banned The Scorpion’s music. Now that’s a travesty.
