They aren't the police, and neither are the IWF, so why the hell are they blocking any part of my service based on the word of a third party?
Hmm! Well I'm pretty sure a large company with the name Virgin attached to it will have sought legal advice about an issue like this before taking such an action...after all any media company is going to make sure they aren't likely to face prosecution at some point and will be thinking about all those parents who use and whose children use their services.

Agreed censorship seems to be the thin end of the wedge BUT you are living in cloud cuckoo land if you thing that the internet is going to avoid it's effects altogether.
