Internet censorship in the United Kingdom

Internet censorship in the United Kingdom is implemented through a combination of statutory laws, court judgments, administrative regulations, and voluntary measures by Internet service providers. It is achieved by blocking access to sites as well as the use of laws that criminalise publication or possession of certain types of material. These include English defamation law, the Copyright law of the United Kingdom, regulations against incitement to terrorism and child pornography.
