School District Told to Replace Web Filter Blocking Pro-Gay Sites; New York Times, 3/26/12

Michael Winerip, New York Times; School District Told to Replace Web Filter Blocking Pro-Gay Sites:

"The way it worked: the URLBlacklist filter classified gay organizations in the “sexuality” category. The sexuality filter also screened out pornography. As a result, when URLBlacklist filtered pornography, it also filtered Web sites supportive of gay causes.

On the other hand, antigay Web sites were typically classified under “religion” or not categorized at all and so were allowed through the filter."

  1. Looking for a Porn Blacklist?

    Our proprietary platform allows us to leverage multiple data sets across the web to pull in new data for the most complete and extensive adult blacklist found anywhere. It gives us a competitive advantage on the competition that allows us to produce an adult blacklist that is second to none. It is currently the worlds largest adult domain blacklist in the world, with over 1,320,00 domains and growing with every update.
