I believe it's illegal not to apply the Internet Watch Foundation blacklist (despite the IWF being completely unaccountable). A&A does a scheme where they'll set you up as a 1-person ISP and provide an unfiltered feed, but you have to sign something saying you're applying the blacklist yourself.

In the UK? Do you know the relevant law and could provide a link?

I briefly looked at the legal side of offering public Wi-Fi (essentially becoming an ISP) and besides debunking a ton of BS (turns out you don’t need to collect traffic data unless explicitly ordered by the government, and sign-in pages/captive portals/ToS aren’t necessary either) I never even heard of the IWF.

Curious how this law would apply to the ISPs providing connectivity to dedicated servers.
