http://hemp.je

Original Complaint: ------------------- Good afternoon, It has recently come to our attention that the Jersey Hemp website - https://hemp.je - was mistakenly classified as adult content on the three network and we are concerned that the case may be the same on other networks in the UK. If this is indeed the case, we believe that this classification is in error and so we wish to appeal the status of the Jersey Hemp website. Jersey Hemp cultivates and processes industrial hemp into raw materials and end products under licence from the Government of Jersey, selling a range of hempseed products and THC-free CBD oils to the UK and Europe from the hemp.je website. We would appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter so that our customers may access the Jersey Hemp website without restriction. Kind regards, Simon Harrison.

Original Complaint: Not sure why it's listed as anonymiser. No other ISPs are blocking it. The only issue was they had a server outage in Jan-Feb (see their twitter @simfileshare for info). It's a very popular hosting site dedicated to Sims 4 mods (hairstyles, fashion, furniture etc). ISP Response: Review comments: No reply from Vodafone

Original Complaint: ------------------- Our website is for our reputable gun shop, we do not glamorise violence or weapons, and there are plenty of other gun shops that aren't being blocked so this seems a bit unfair (https://www.sportsmanguncentre.co.uk/ as an example) we do not sell any illegal weapons and all of our product listings are complying with UK gun law standards. submitted on 27 September, 2019 at 15:55 ISP Response: ------------- Review comments: ---------------- No response from Vodafone.
