“The Chaos Computer Club is a large German non-governmental organisation of IT security experts. What this means and why this should be public to everyone is best described by the following quote of the related Wikipedia article; "In general, the CCC advocates more transparency in government, freedom of information, and the human right to communication. Supporting the principles of the hacker ethic, the club also fights for free universal access to computers and technological infrastructure as well as the use of open-source software." The Guardian calls the CCC "…one of the most influential digital organisations anywhere, the centre of German digital culture, hacker culture, hacktivism, and the intersection of any discussion of democratic and digital rights". This shows that the CCC is an important German and European NGO which provides verified information which may be relevant to people researching simple issues like freedom of information or freedom of communication. A website advocating freedom while sharing verified and often ground-breaking research should be public to everyone.”

“Dear Sir, I am the owner and webmaster of - www.heritageanddestiny.com - and a Virgin customer for the past few years. From around 12 noon today the website has been blocked - for no reason - as far as I can tell. So I cant update it - or even look at it. I can't understand why Virgin would want to block my website which I've hosted for many years. If you could please unblock it asap that would be most helpful.
