Looking into this a bit more, this seems like a classic case of “much ado about nothing.”
The situation as I understand it:
1. A UK telecom company, EE, has an optional (!!) parental control feature, which blocks websites based on a user-selected threshold [0]
2. Archive.org was added to this block-list. This makes sense at first glance: as an exercise to the reader, go to archive.org and type in the URL of your favorite porn website.
3. This is all user-controllable and is disabled by default.
Yeah, assuming I have my facts right, this seems like a big, fat, nothing burger. Please correct me if I’ve misanalysed.
