Anti-censorship site censored Censorship6/5/2000; 7:13:59 AM April 11, 2000: "The director of the Campaign Against Censorship of the Internet in Britain has challenged Dr Laurence Godfrey to sue him following claims by CACIB that it was gagged over the publication of a story on its Web site."

"Hutty, who wrote the story, said: 'What I've written is not an actionable libel. If he wants to sue it's up to him,' he said. 'We stand behind our comments, but the ISP is naturally neither willing nor able to get involved. The result is that we are presumed guilty, and censored, because our ISP does not want to pay the legal fees to defend us.'"

Of course, you can't check it out for yourself because the site is gone.

British ISPs should just shut down in protest... sooner or later they will be shut down anyhow by one lawsuit or another. With the libel case showing that ISPs are responsible for everything on their servers, who can afford to host sites anymore?

Does Britain have something like the ACLU?
