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 It appears that the current restriction may be based on historical domain reputation or outdated categorisation data rather than the website’s present content.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”

“We're getting blocked for fishing, based on being on a shared server. We do not fish for information. We're a legitimate flight training school trying to run a business. IONOS refuse to change our IP address to a different server to allow access to our customers.”

“Dear Sir or Madam, RE: FORMAL REQUEST FOR URGENT REVIEW AND UNBLOCKING OF EAPLO.COM I am writing in my capacity as the Founder, Owner and CEO of EAPLO.com to formally request an urgent review of the decision to block access to our website through your network. EAPLO is a community-focused online platform designed to bring like-minded individuals together through shared interests, activities, social connections and travel opportunities. Our objective is simple: to encourage genuine human connections, strengthen communities and make the world a more connected and welcoming place. EAPLO is not a pornography website, nor is it an adult entertainment platform. Its purpose is entirely different from that of conventional dating websites. We provide a platform that helps people living in London, as well as visitors travelling to London, discover and connect with others who share similar interests and activities. We take online safety, user accountability and community standards extremely seriously. Our platform incorporates identity verification requirements, and access is strictly restricted to individuals aged 18 and over. We are committed to maintaining a safe, responsible and trustworthy environment for our users. In light of these safeguards and the genuine community purpose of our platform, we believe that the current blocking of EAPLO.com is unjustified and warrants immediate reconsideration. The restriction is having a direct and detrimental impact on our business, our legitimate users and the considerable time, investment and effort we have dedicated to developing a platform intended to benefit the wider community. We respectfully request that your relevant technical and content classification teams: 1. Conduct a full review of EAPLO.com and the reasons for its current classification or blocking. 2. Reassess any categorisation that may incorrectly identify our platform as pornography, adult content or an inappropriate dating service. 3. Remove any restrictions that have been incorrectly applied and restore normal access to our website. 4. Provide us with a clear explanation should you identify any specific content, technical issue or compliance concern requiring attention. We are entirely willing to cooperate with your teams and provide any additional information, documentation or clarification necessary. Should there be any aspect of our website that does not meet your requirements, we would welcome the opportunity to address it promptly and constructively. As the founder and owner of EAPLO, I am personally available to discuss this matter and work towards an immediate resolution. We believe that legitimate community initiatives should be assessed fairly, transparently and on the basis of their actual content and purpose, rather than an incorrect or misleading classification. We therefore respectfully request an urgent reassessment and the reinstatement of access to EAPLO.com. Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to receiving your response and resolving this matter constructively. Yours faithfully, Istvan Bacs Founder, Owner & CEO EAPLO.com A community that connects, caters to and cares for all.”

“I own Hempine, a CBD retail brand operated by Raised Spirit Ltd. Customers are reporting that broadband filters prevent access to hempine.co.uk and www.hempine.co.uk. A recent customer screenshot explicitly shows a Virgin Media parental-controls block. Please check both domain versions, confirm their current classification and review whether it accurately reflects our CBD retail business. We request correction of any misclassification and removal of inappropriate blocking. Several blocking results shown on this service date from December 2022, so fresh checks are needed. Please confirm the review outcome or advise how we can appeal any continued restriction.”

“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”

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

“I own Raised Spirit Ltd, the business behind raisedspirit.com. We are an established CBD brand founded in 2017. The blocking report lists BT Strict as blocking our website, but that result was last checked on 1 February 2023. Please carry out fresh checks for both raisedspirit.com and www.raisedspirit.com and confirm their current filtering status and classification. Please review whether the classification accurately reflects our CBD business, correct any misclassification and remove inappropriate blocking. Our website provides business and product information; it does not promote illegal drug use. Please confirm the review outcome and explain how we can appeal any continued restriction.”
