British Columbia Ferry Lines (BC Ferries) - the largest passenger ferry line in North America - has reportedly blocked access on its free Wi-fi service to any site that has sex education or abortion-related content.
In response to a 'Freedom of Information' request, BC Ferries released several documents which show that its BC Ferries' online web filters are designed to block all websites having any kind of sexual material - even if it pertains to legitimate sex education, reproductive health and abortion.
The list of blocked category contents include other predictably filtered items such as like "child porn," "hate speech," "illegal activities" and "non-sexual nudity" as well as bandwidth-hogging stuff such as "streaming media" and "file transfer services."
