Reported Sites

“ Dear Network Security Team, I am writing to request a review of the block currently applied to chasingmyths.com, which appears to have been categorised as an adult website due to its previous use by an unrelated third party. The domain is now being used for its intended legitimate purpose: a personal carp fishing website dedicated to angling articles, fishing experiences, photographs, and blog posts. It contains no adult content and is not associated with the website or business that previously operated under this domain. It appears that the current restriction may be based on historical domain reputation or outdated categorisation data rather than the website’s present content. I respectfully request that you review the website as it currently exists and reassess its classification. If the block is based on historical data, I would be grateful if this could be updated to reflect the domain’s current legitimate use. The website is intended for fishing enthusiasts and general audiences, and I am keen to ensure it can be accessed without being incorrectly associated with unrelated content from its past. Thank you for your time and consideration. I would appreciate confirmation once the review has been completed. Kind regards, James Smith Chasing Myths https://chasingmyths.com”

“Cupcakke.com is a legitimate site for the artist cupcakKe. The site is not NSFW, the purpose served is entirely for promoting her own music, tour schedules and merchandise. Additionally, blocking the site would mean that artists like Adelā, Slayyyter, Taylor Swift and way more who have all also made suggestive music would have to be blocked, which is wrong as none of them (including cupcakke) are entirely bound to making adult music. Cupcakke is also a known activist for rights and liberty of people who listen to her music, blocking this would be a fundemental disregard to the wide range of opinions the internet offers. Furthemore, her music remains unblocked for those who are using streaming services like Spotify or YouTube, which makes the entire point of a blockage of her website useless.”

“The website https://www.google.com/url?q=https://fitmen.info&source=gmail&ust=<phone removed>000&sa=E is blocked on O2 by the over-18 age-verification filter. Please could you review it, as it has no adult content. https://www.google.com/url?q=http://fitmen.info&source=gmail&ust=<phone removed>000&sa=E is a men's health research site run by Dale Rees, a registered dietitian and senior lecturer at London Metropolitan University, who is copied in. It lists weight-management services for men in England and hosts a university research survey. The block means men on O2 cannot reach the survey. Please re-classify the site as suitable for all ages and let me know the outcome. I am an administrator of the site. Many thanks, Nikita Kolomnin”

“Why is my site blocked?”

“Hi, Our website www.moreamoure.com is being blocked on Vodafone mobile for a lot of customers, with an age-restricted or unsafe-site message. It is a UK clothing brand based in Manchester selling hoodies, tracksuits, tees, caps and accessories, and 10% of profits go to charitable community work. There is no adult, gambling, alcohol or other restricted content on the site. It looks to have been put in the wrong category. Could a community manager please request a review and reclassify it? Details: URL: https://www.moreamoure.com Exact error message shown: Website not allowed - 'moreamoure.com' is a restricted website Customers can’t reach our shop and we are losing sales, so any help is much appreciated. Happy to provide anything else needed. Thanks, Roland, More Amoure”

“Hello, My website mypartnerup.com is being blocked by your adult content filter, so customers can't access it on mobile data. Partner Up is a local sports community app for adults in Hertford. People use it to find others to play padel and tennis, run or go to the gym with, and to join local sports clubs. It has no adult, dating or explicit content. Please could you review and reclassify it as Sports / Social networking, so it's no longer blocked by the default filter? Many thanks, Stavros Vlavianos Partner Up, mypartnerup.com”

“This is only a social website, with no sexual or underage content.”

“Dude I need Instagram to talk to my parents to pick me up from school and bababa”

“This is a history education website, covering thousands of historical events in 'on this day' format. The website is owned and operated by myself, a fully qualified and DBS-checked history teacher who has taught in schools for over 20 years. The site supports teachers and students by providing short overviews of key events linked to the main exam syllabus material.”

“Site doesnt need to be blocked...”

“I'm the owner of puredance.co.uk, the official website of Pure Dance, a UK dance music radio station broadcasting on DAB and online. The site has no adult content: it carries our live stream, schedule, presenters and dance music news. I believe the block comes from the domain's history rather than its current content. The original Pure Dance station used it from 2004 to around 2007; after that it passed through unrelated third parties, was parked or for sale for most of 2007 to 2023, and briefly redirected to an advertising tracker in late 2014. We've owned it since 2023 and relaunched the station site in September 2024. Symantec, McAfee, FortiGuard and BrightCloud already classify it as Entertainment or Streaming Media. Please review it and recategorise both puredance.co.uk and www.puredance.co.uk as music, radio or entertainment. Thanks, Alex Kinch, Pure Dance”
