BBFC response

    Hello,

Thanks for your request.

The BBFC examined http://gatesofvienna.net on 20/07/2021.

The URL leads to a news and opinion site with a focus on what it perceives
as the danger of mass immigration, with a focus on Islam. Part B of the
Framework outlines that the BBFC considers the following suitable for
adults only: ‘Language or behaviour which attacks a person or group on the
basis of race, religion, gender, disability or sexual orientation and is
not condemned’. We found such examples, and consequently we would rate the
site at least 18.

We will inform the mobile network operators of this decision.

Best wishes,

Jonny
Mobile Network Advice Team
