WebBlocker Categories

WebBlocker relies on a URL database, which is a service of SurfControl. The WebBlocker database contains thousands of IP addresses and directories. These addresses are divided into categories based on content such as drug culture, intolerance, or sexual acts. SurfControl constantly searches the Internet to update the list of blocked sites. The WebBlocker database contains the following 14 categories.

NOTE

All the categories of sites to be blocked are selected by advocacy rather than opinion or educational material. For example, the drugs/drug culture category blocks sites describing how to grow and use marijuana but does not block sites discussing the historical use of marijuana.

Pictures or text advocating the sale, consumption, or production of alcoholic beverages and tobacco products.

Illegal Gambling

Pictures or text advocating materials or activities of a dubious nature that may be illegal in any or all jurisdictions, such as illegal business schemes, chain letters, copyright infringement, computer hacking, phreaking
