It is not totally clear from the article, but it appears Vodafone blocks a site as 'for 18+' when really it is a case of an incorrect certificate. To get round it you need to register with Vodafone.

At least google allows me to click away such warnings (while warning that doom is imminent).

Isn't the certificate "incorrect" only because Vodafone block the site and intercept the TLS connection? That's why the "incorrect" TLS cert presented mentions Vodafone's "solution" for traffic filtering. That's my read of things.

same. Just inspected the original cert (not on vodaphone here) and the cert is verified by GlobalSign nv-sa
