"Access to William Shakespeare&amp;#039;s Hamlet has been blocked by the British Library&amp;#039;s WiFi network. Author Mark Forsyth tried to access the online version of the play but found he was unable to, as the text was blocked due to its &amp;quot;violent content&amp;quot;, BBC News reports.   The British Library responded to the incident, saying that the error was caused by a newly installed WiFi service from an external provider. A spokesperson confirmed: &amp;quot;The upgraded service has a web filter to ensure that inappropriate content cannot be viewed on-site. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ve received feedback from a number of users about sites which were blocked, but shouldn&amp;#039;t have been. We&amp;#039;re in the process of tweaking the service to unblock these sites.&amp;quot; Professor Ross Anderson, a security expert at Cambridge University, said that it is &amp;quot;completely inappropriate&amp;quot; to have security filters in the British Library. He added: &amp;quot;Everything that is legal should be available over the library&amp;#039;s WiFi network. The only things they should block are the few dozen books against which there are court judgements in the UK. &amp;quot;One of the functions of deposit libraries is to keep everything, including smut.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
