Network filtering
Cleanfeed
BT operates the Cleanfeed filter on its network which blocks illegal child sexual abuse content and content blocked by order of the courts[2][3].
RedCard
A 2023 court order refers to BT networks using an IP blocking technology known as RedCard.
BT Parental Controls
BT introduced a network-level filter for adult content, BT Parental Controls, in December 2013[4]. In 2013 it was reported[5] to be using Nominum as its source for site categorisation. BT spent a "seven figure sum"[6] obtaining the system.
Court-ordered blocks
BT uses a combination of Cleanfeed and DNS request-blocking for court ordered blocks.
