Many many years ago in a land far away when Dial up was still in demand, I had 
a dial up company that purchased a filtering service from a company called 
X-Stop The company was later bought by 8e6 Technologies and they did an amazing 
job of both stopping access to the undesired content and properly determining 
what was considered Porn or Hate sites. I'm sure depending on the area of the 
country you live in or the people you surround yourself with the description 
would change but I never had any substantial complaints from the customers that 
sites were not blocked that should be or visa versa. They would never tell the 
actual process they used but they did tell me several times that everything was 
reviewed by human eyes as a final check. One of the criteria was the % of skin 
tone that would be on the page. I'm sure that after 20 year that all the 
criteria would have to change but I always thought they did a good job

Subject: [AFMUG] blocking 

I have some proposed legislation I am facing about porn blocking again. But 
they are not defining the type of service. It is one thing to block web 
traffic, but how about netflix or twitter or skype or...... 
I want to play defense here and force the lawmakers to define exactly what we 
need to block. 
So can you guys help me develop a list of all the things we would have to 
analyze and block if we were going to attempt to create a true device that 
protects kids.
