A man using the British Library's wi-fi network was blocked from accessing an online version of Shakespeare's Hamlet, as the text featured 'violent content.'
Author Mark Forsyth was working on his book in the library, and wanted to check a line from the famous play but couldn't do so because of the blockage by the wi-fi, the BBC reported.
The British Library said that the fault lied with newly installed wi-fi service from a third-party provider.
A spokesperson for the British Library said that Hamlet had now been made accessible.
The spokesperson said that the upgraded service has a web filter to ensure that inappropriate content cannot be viewed on-site.
