Becky Hogge, executive director at the digital rights organisation, stated that the process of self-regulating is called "crowdsourcing".
"The best way to regulate the content is to rely on those same users either to alert administrators when there's a problem or sort out what content is suitable for dissemination themselves," she said.
He went on to claim that everyone with cheap broadband deals "is now a content regulator".
