Collateral Damage as UK Censors Internet Archive 272
An anonymous reader noted the latest developments in the controversial censoring of the internet by UK ISPs. Apparently since some content of the Wayback Machine is bad, the whole thing needs to be blacklisted.

I'm an ornithologist and yes, there is a bird called the "great tit" in Europe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_tits [wikipedia.org]
Quite often, I'm finding sites which refer to tits to be censored.
(there are also "boobies" which are seabirds as well)

Good evening. This is an extraordinary period for America's *****. Over the past few weeks, many Americans have felt anxiety about their ***** and their fu***. I understand their worry and their f******. We've seen triple-digit swings in the s***. Major f**** have teetered on the edge of ****, and some have f*****. As uncertainty has grown, many ba*****s have restricted ****. C*** markets have f*****. And families and businesses have found it harder to ******.
We're in the midst of a serious f****** crisis, and the federal government is responding with decisive action. We've boosted confidence in mo***********, and acted to prevent major *******s from intentionally driving down s*** for their own personal ****.
