5. Filter is..... S4F Technologies

PO Box 702183

www.s4f.com

6. Here's a good site for information on blocking software:

Peacefire

It's a civil-liberty oriented site that has lots of info on blocking software as pertains to its use in places like schools and public libraries.

Of course, there's a small but significant possibility that Peacefire is blocked through your software, a problem for which I have no answer -- don't know if they have a mirror site or not.

10. That's a pretty anal-retentive filtering system. Swimsuits are obscene?

11. WTF?

:wtf: So now sports are obscene?

Fascism at its finest. :grr:

[eyesroll]

13. I think it's just categories you can block.

Not necessarily a value judgement.

I know some companies will block sports/entertainment/games sites, not because they're obscene, but because people spend too much time reading them and not working.

[Timefortruth]

17. Salon?

Please.

[Minstrel Boy]

7. They block that, but I bet you can still search for "Paris Hilton"

;)

Seriously, that many filters supposedly intended to block sexual content also block liberal/left political sites needs examination. Someone has an agenda.

[rasputin1952]

8. Does it block Freerepublic?...

freerepublic=inane banter subversive to democracy

It is blocked by iPrism, a filter made by St. Bernard Software, under the category of "pornography".

It's not pornography, it's call the TRUTH!
The truth just seems like pornography to lying sons of bitches.

[bobbieinok]

15. S4F does NOT block

...freerepublic

...paris hilton video

...peacefire


I think they block specific sites when someone complains.

[fujiyama]

18. Ah Salon is blocked...

but freerepublic is A-OK.

No wonder the GOP wanted filtering software installed in public libraries to recieve any federal funding.

These companies are probably owned by fundies or GOP schills like Diebold is.

Welcome to the New America!

[pstokely]

16. a lot of filters block afa.net

for hate
