What? Seriously.....what?

On what planet, in which parallel dimension, does allowing adults to decide whether or not their mobile service provider provides them adult content drive a 'coach and horses' through privacy? How are the two even linked?

Again, not censorship.

Hold on a second.....what?

How does blocking a web site from being accessible via a mobile service stop search engines (for example Google) from spidering the site and therefore from it being listed in the search engines?

One would assume you would either a) be able to visit it from a normal Internet connection (ie. non-mobile), or that b) you would previously know the existence of the site that you want to visit and would notice when your mobile provider blocked it.
