Wikipedia Blacklisted In Britain
Sydney Morning Herald | Submitted by: theglave
"The British Government-backed Internet Watch Foundation blacklisted Wikipedia over an article on the 1976 album Virgin Killer by German heavy metal band Scorpions... At issue was a screen shot of the album cover, published with the article, that featured a naked, young girl with her genitals obscured by a simulated tear in the photograph. After hearing of the blacklisting, Britain's six main internet service providers blocked their users from accessing the article."
