Sorry i thought i had read that they sought advice from the Met.

The IWF statement also said that they blocked the page because the image was "potentially illegal" and not "illegal".

Maybe someone could answer this. Who are the IWF accountable to? As their block list is secret, is there a body which over sees the activities of the IWF to ensure that they are not blocking access to sites which are legal?
