Jan 02, 2008Quickie Link: Vodaphone Blocks Access To Leading Gay News Sites
By vanrozenheim
(UK) - The world’s leading mobile telecommunications company considers UK Gay News and at least one other Gay news website to have 'adult' content and is barring access, it has emerged. UK-based Vodaphone, which has interests around the world including a joint venture, Verizon Wireless, in America, puts a block on access to this site – and on the highly-reputable Gay City News in New York – deeming the content to be 'adult' in nature. The suspicion is that Vodaphone is using third party software that blocks websites with the word 'Gay' in a url – this is something that UK Gay News has in common with Gay City News.
