Just checked - I am in the UK and got the message "Due to laws within your region, you are unable to view content for this website." on my first 3 attempts; upon refreshing the page I eventually got to the TMZ home page... But now Blocked again!
I wonder what is triggering the UK "ban"! Some censorship of some sort but what? It says much for FREEDOM!
Let's try to contact TMZ and ask the question! We can then take it further if it persists... My word we will!
With L.O.V.E
I sent TMZ a message on Twitter <!-- s --><!-- s --> my twitter name is Willubetheremj <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->
I see if I get a reply, I asked why we were blocked in the UK. <!-- s:shock: -->:shock:<!-- s:shock: -->
I also sent a tweet to Harvey this morning, let's see what happens in the next 48 hours. Internet censorship is a rather complicated matter and something which should NOT exist, we should be entitled to decide what to watch or not to watch! There is a definite possibility that the TMZ UK DNS server is facing some technical issues rather than TMZ being censored in the UK as I am struggling to see on which ground TMZ could be censored.
There is no publicly available list of censored websites, the official body that looks after censorship is the internet watch foundation (Another waste of taxpayers money!) and I guess this would need to be where we would need to "hit" if TMZ is indeed under censorship.
It's so frustrating that I can't get into TMZ site. Hmm. Come on Harv, get your staff to sort this out because I don't want to miss out on any gossip!!!
It seems TMZ has imposed this block permanantly for legal resaons, however, for people in the UK who can't access TMZ at this time (Including myself) try using this link:
