Reported Sites

“Hi, This is my personal website to showcase my work as a cinematographer. It is used by myself and shared by my agent so that I can get work and earn a living. With this site being blocked by Virgin and Sky it is limiting my ability to reach new clients and share my work. Thanks so much,”

“My site is a relationship podcast. I talk about adult topics, but I feature NO adult content on the site itself. Just the audio.”

“Good morning, GamerDating.com is a legitimate 18+ dating service for gamers, it does not possess adult or pornographic content and the website is monitored to remove it. It is a professional relationship service and not a pornographic or hookup site, therefore we request to be removed from your blanket light and strict filters. We are registered with the data commissioner in the United Kingdom. However should you be blocking websites that are 18+ from children, please continue to do so of course because we do not allow minors onto the service. ”
