DESCRIPTION

 

Open Image/Media Search

Selecting this category excludes pages with image or video search

 

 

capabilities which return graphical results (i.e. thumbnail pictures) that

 

 

include potentially pornographic content along with non-pornographic

 

 

content (as defined in the Pornography category). Sites that explicitly

 

 

exclude offensive content are not included in this category.

 

 

 

 

Chat/Instant Messaging

Selecting this category excludes pages that provide chat or instant

 

 

messaging capabilities or client downloads.

 

 

 

 

Email

Selecting this category excludes pages offering web-based email

 

 

services, such as online email reading, e-cards, and mailing list services.

 

 

 

 

Blogs/Newsgroups

Selecting this category excludes pages that offer access to Usenet news

 

 

groups or other messaging or bulletin board systems. Also, blog specific

 

 

sites or an individual with his own blog. This does not include social

 

 

networking communities with blogs.

 

 

 

 

Religion

Selecting this category excludes pages that promote and provide

 

 

information on conventional or unconventional religious or quasi-religious

 

 

subjects, as well as churches, synagogues, or other houses of worship. It

 

 

does not include pages containing alternative religions such as Wicca or

 

 

witchcraft or atheist beliefs (Alternative Spirituality/Occult).

 

 

 

 

Social Networking

Selecting this category excludes pages that enable people to connect

 

 

with others to form an online community. Typically members describe

 

 

themselves in personal web page profiles and form interactive networks,

 

 

linking them with other members based on common interests or

 

 

acquaintances. Instant messaging, file sharing and web logs (blogs) are

 

 

common features of Social Networking sites. Note: These sites may

 

 

contain offensive material in the community-created content. Sites in this

 

 

category are also referred to as "virtual communities" or "online

 

 

communities". This category does not include more narrowly focused

 

 

sites, like those that specifically match descriptions for Personals/Dating

 

 

sites or Business sites.

 

 

 

 

Online Storage

Selecting this category excludes pages that provide a secure, encrypted,

 

 

off-site backup and restoration of personal data. These online

 

 

repositories are typically used to store, organize and share videos, music,

 

 

movies, photos, documents and other electronically formatted

 

 

information. Sites that fit this criteria essentially act as your personal hard

 

 

drive on the Internet.

 

 

 

 

Remote Access Tools

information about and/or methods that enables authorized access to and

 

 

use of a desktop computer or private network remotely.

classified in other categories (such as vehicles or weapons).

in another category.
