ISP Association Nominates Mozilla as “Internet Villain”

But if Cloudflare is the point of aggregation and the ISP can no longer distinguish between what, according to UK law, is legal and illegal traffic, then... surely the legal onus of performing the filtering will fall on Cloudflare?

When they are providing internet content to UK customers, they must respect UK law. It's a dangerous chicken game to think UK will not be able to enforce it's laws against Cloudflare.

The villain here is the UK govt. ISPs should applaud the technical developments with all their hearts since they are legally off the hook.

I would be okay with showing all of the UK a "Sorry it doesn't appear your government supports modern common sense. Please consider upgrading your government for full site functionality."

Man, I would hate to block off support for a bunch of the things that people need for their daily work, but if it makes things obvious to everyone who's at fault, then it might just work, and I'd be willing to take a hit for that to happen.
