If people chose to opt into censorship then its a bit outside our remit. Beyond having an extensive article on the subject.

Isn't the plan to make this opt-out in the near future?
Even if not, if were being blocked under misleading or inapplicable categories, we have a right (and a duty) to protest.
Watching the o2 twitter account on overdrive most of the day has been interesting. They seem to have changed a bit of the tune of the responses from simply "it's opt in parents can choose" (except to complaints about childline type responses to a mix of that and "we are reviewing the parental control opt-in service as soon as possible." Of course has shown "change" isn't impossible but isn't horribly likely.

No, that's the filter you have to explicitly opt out of.
In any case, discriminatory or defamatory filter labeling is something it is in the public interest to inform on and quite possibly protest against. (Turns out that using US-sourced filter software on default settings may not be the wisest course of action for a UK-based provider.)

A positive choice is required to go in either direction. The opt in opt out thing is mostly just political PR.

I'm not sure that is the best way to approach the wikidata community.
Hoi, How does this relate to Wikidata ? Thanks, GerardM

I've been told that O2 has also blocked the Icelandic parliament website. Madness, methinks.
