back to websense.....

Sooo

I figured I'd revisit an old flame. Here is some of Websense's greatest hits..

• KinderGarten.org -- an organization funding free vaccinations for children in India. Blocked as "Sex".
• The Navarra, Spain chapter of the Red Cross -- in Spanish. Blocked as "Sex".
• Keep Nacogdoches Beautiful -- a Nacogdoches, Texas cleanup project affiliated with Keep America Beautiful. Blocked as "Sex".
• Autism Behavioural Intervention Queensland -- an Australian organization promoting treatment of children suffering from autism. Blocked as "Gambling".
• The Shoah Project -- in German. A Holocaust remembrance page that includes criticism of various "revisionist" historians who deny the Holocaust. Blocked as "Racism/Hate", probably because the page contains the names of several Holocaust deniers, including David Irving, even though the site itself is attacking Holocaust denial.
• Dignity of Victims Everywhere -- a crime victims' organization. Blocked as "Sex", possibly because of the presence of some words such as "Rape" and "Incest" on the pages.
• His Glory Ministries -- a religious ministry organization. Blocked as "Tasteless". WebSENSE's category list defines "tasteless" sites as sites that "offer offensive, grotesque, frightening, lurid, material with no redeeming value".
• Arizona Council on Compulsive Gambling -- a site providing information treatment for compulsive gamblers. Blocked as "Gambling". WebSENSE's category list defines "gambling" sites as: "Sites that provide information about or promote gambling or that support online gambling. Risk of losing money possible." While the Council site does "provide information about" gambling, WebSENSE's definition was probably not intended to include this kind of Web site.
• The Jewish Federation of Northeastern Pennsylvania -- a Jewish community site promoting local activism and community building. Blocked as "Sex". Formerly the Scranton Jewish Federation, located at http://www.scrantonjewishfed.org/, which is also blocked as "Sex".
• The Red Letter Project -- a "forum for Christians and non-Christians alike" to discuss religious issues. Blocked as "Sex".
• The Poster Project -- an organization that makes posters promoting liberal political causes, including views on the death penalty and abortion. Blocked as "Sex".
• The Pro-Choice Resource Center -- a site listing resources for pro-choice political activism. Blocked as "Sex".
• DisabilityGuide.org -- an online information resource about disability issues, based in Washington, DC. Blocked as "Gambling".
