Well, kinda. A RIPA s.49 notice can be defeated with s.53 defenses.

Some people have failed to pass the test of "reasonable doubt" for s.53 (3) / (4) defenses e.g. ( http://www.alphr.com/news/361693/teenager-jailed-for-refusin... ) but in other cases they have succeeded (e.g. Lauri Love had his hdd's taken and the NCA couldn't decrypt them but had to release him on bail; http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-31544346 and subsequently returned some of the storage (before arresting him again))

There are also people out there working to help the reasonable doubt argument; https://brasshorncommunications.uk/projects/s53/

TalkTalk has more than one filter setting.

Ask them if your site is blocked at the "Kid Safe" level (the default) which is what the probes run on.

www.blocked.org.uk vs blocked.org.uk AFAIK

Snapshots are made available: https://www.blocked.org.uk/assets/data/alexa_100k_isp_latest...

A&A are paying for the ADSL/cable connections (Sky, TalkTalk, BT & Virgin) and are providing an unfiltered ADSL connection for use as a base measure.

The TalkTalk filter is the default "KidSafe" level

For the past 8 months we've been working on building a series of probes;

- Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.org.blocked...

- Python https://github.com/openrightsgroup/OrgProbe

- Raspberry PI images https://github.com/openrightsgroup/lepidopter)

And an open API to power them: https://wiki.openrightsgroup.org/wiki/Censorship_Monitoring_...

This is helping to build a picture of what the UK Governments Internet Blocking/Filtering/Censorship actually looks like.

You can submit URLs to be tested by visiting https://www.Blocked.org.uk by installing the Android app or by tweeting a URL with the hashtag #IsBlocked

Once we receive a URL it is dispatched to all probes over a period of time where it is checked against a know list of blocking methods.

The results are returned back to the API for public evaluation.

For example: https://www.blocked.org.uk/results?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.yc...

Please help us build a picture of UK Internet Censorship by adding URLs to be tested, by helping develop new probes (browser extensions, an iPhone client etc etc) or just by spreading the word that https://Blocked.org.uk is available.

Please also see https://www.blocked.org.uk/faq which will explain the level of filtering enabled on some of the probes which will explain why some sites may appear blocked even if you, being on the same ISP, can reach said URL.
