List of websites blocked in the United Kingdom

This is a list of websites blocked in the United Kingdom.

Sanctioned websites
As part of UK sanctions against Russia, ISPs are required to take "reasonable steps to prevent" users accessing "an internet service provided by" a person or organisation sanctioned by the UK government. This effectively means blocking websites operated by such organisations. Organisations sanctioned are currently TV Novosti and Rossiya Segodnya. The websites currently listed by the UK government are:


 * rt.com
 * sputniknews.com
 * rossiyasegodnya.com

Court ordered implementations targeting copyright and trademark infringement
Sites are blocked using various methods across the "Big 5" UK ISPs, in accordance with Section 97A of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, making it difficult to ascertain the extent to which a site is 'blocked' or not. In December 2014, the affected ISPs decided to publish more information about the blocking orders they received.

If a user visits a blocked site within the United Kingdom, the user will be forwarded to www.ukispcourtorders.co.uk which includes the list of blocked domains and court orders.

ISPs with over 400,000 subscribers subject to blocking orders include:
 * BT Group
 * EE
 * Sky Broadband
 * Talk Talk
 * Virgin Media

Indirect blocking
In furtherance of the above-mentioned goal of restricting access to The Pirate Bay and similar sites, the BPI believes that "ISPs are required to block the illegal sites themselves, and proxies and proxy aggregators whose sole or predominant purpose is to give access to the illegal sites." As such, sites linking to sites which acted as proxies to The Pirate Bay were themselves added to the list of banned sites, including piratebayproxy.co.uk, piratebayproxylist.com and ukbay.org. This led to the indirect blocking (or hiding) of sites at the following domains, among others:
