Virgin Media blocking news sites?

    I'm with Virgin Media. Does anybody know if they censor web browsing, and if so, what are the general kinds of criteria?

    I've had a bookmark in my browser for some time, and today when I load it I get an "Access Denied" error, with a URL of "https://www.virginmedia.ie/System/Block/999/38111162/tpb/".

    For reference, the URL I'm trying to view is:

    https://sputniknews.com/military/201804021063131722-sweden-defense-data-leak/


    It's a news article from 2018 about a Swedish citizen being given access in aa library to missile information. All I can think of is that, judging by the URL, it's a Russian site. But that's hardly reason to block it.

    I've checked, and on the Virgin Media website I've got my parental controls disabled.

    Apologies if this is a well-discussed topic, I did search and found nothing.
