I ask because as a person who has worked at a few companies which have attempted to block sites (facebook etc) it always relies on an administrator to individually block each site. So other there's some kind of hardcoded signature only porn sites have, are they really going to go around and block all fifty billion porn sites around the world?

I can only imagine like a blacklist of sites and filtering of keywords and such?

Presumably the same way the block it at schools. At the council I work at, we use a system called Blue Shield. I believe it's maintained by Virgin Media. What it basically does it catagorises every website and block it based on what's been set up by whoevers calling the shots. For instance, schools normally have adult content, proxys and... LGBT. I don't know why. A bunch of other stuff too like weapons and whatever. I could provide a full list if I could be bothered to write it down at work but I can't and I shan't. Everything gets banned based on what we recommend to the schools or what the schools decide themselves if they opt into that service.
NOW.
That's where it gets interesting.
I had a call from a school not too long ago asking to get a website catagorised as adult/mature. Porn basically. That website was tumblr. It was a tumblr page call publicdisplaysoferection. I completely creased myself on the phone when she read that out to me, I swear to god. A school teacher reading smut to me over the phone for 5 minutes. Some people pay for that shit.
Anyway, naturally they can't do that as it's a social media site, it just happens to have some porn on it in certain places. But they could block that one individual page once it had been reported. That's the issue here. People who are looking for porn aged 16+ (probably) go to big search enginey hub type places to find their porn. They do that on purpose, they seek it out. Noone's ever gone onto pornhub and thought OH FIDDLESTICKS I WAS LOOKING TO BUY A PIZZA BUT THAT PIZZA HAS A PENIS STICKING THROUGH IT, WHAT IS THIS DISGUSTING SERVICE. The perceived problem here is that kids are stumbling onto things by mistake. They're seeing some pictures on tumblr or they're looking for flash games and accidently end up on some obscure Polish porn site (another call I've had). They can't block that, they don't know it's there.
In the eyes of people who make decisions. LGBT = porn.

Do they still block 18+ stuff? I remember I had to go into a T-Mobile shop to get it unblocked

Didn't their CEO go to school with Cameron, and doesn't he give ludicrous amounts of money to the Tory party?

I have absolutely no idea, It would not amaze me though.
Turns out she did go to school with him and she is married to a Tory MP.

I get the minute-long kind on an almost daily basis, sometimes recurring several times in one night. After I found out what it really was I stopped getting scared of it and I actually find it quite fascinating. It's a lucid dream of sorts.

I'll go about 3-4 days with maybe an hours sleep here and there every day sometimes.
That's not normal.
