Hello all, was curious to know the community’s opinion on whether an ISP
should block domains hosting CPE (child pornography exploitation) content?
Interpol has a ‘worst-of’ list which contains such domains and it wants
ISPs to block it.

On one side we want the ISP to not do any kind of censorship or inspection
of customer traffic (customers are paying for pipes – not for filtered
pipes), on the other side morals/ethics come into play. Keep in mind that
if an ISP is blocking it would mean that it is also logging the information
(source IP) and law agencies might be wanting access to it.



Wondering if any operator is actively doing it or has ever considered
doing it?



Thanks.





With Gratitude,
