I'm sorry, I may have an unreasonable desire to view what legal websites I like when I like without having to log my choice with the ISP, local council, UK government, the EU, and any one else who thinks they should be party to the way I choose to do the things I do online.That is the nature of privacy.

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?.

Restricting access reduces numbers accessing a website and less popular websites end up on page 97 or thereabouts of a search engines listings and whose to say isps wont stop search engines spiders accessing those websites in future?
