The guy told me a story of how they had one been alerted to a really high bandwidth usage coming out of one room in a hall of residence. An engineer came up to me afterwards for a chat and the conversation got round to how ja.net would have coped had they had to implement the Digital Economy Act and monitored its hundreds of thousands of users for their downloading habits. I’ll leave you with a little story about dubious websites that perhaps should be blocked from viewing by children (once the parents have opted in to the filter of course).Ī year or two ago I gave a talk on VoIP security at a ja.net conference. I don’t think that ja.net has the same filtering policy. I doubt I’ll find them on her site mind you but I should be OK. As far as I’m aware she is a fine upstanding member if the blogging fraternity (sorority?).Īs I write I realise that I will soon need a new pair of shoes. Haven’t actually looked at Ashleigh-Jayne’s blog but I’m taking her word for it that it’s not pornographic. The BT and TalkTalk results that are inconclusive don’t necessarily mean they are blocking me buy it is certainly raises an eyebrow or two. I took a look at and the results are in the featured image. The following link takes you to an Open Rights Group website that can test your own website to see if it is blocked The blacklists are automatically produced by machines that tbh are inherently untrustworthy because they get it wrong too often. Millions of people might be wrongly denied access to her site. However if she hadn’t been a TalkTalk broadband customer she might never have found out whether her site was on the list.
However we hope this is just a mistake. Ashleigh-Jayne will almost certainly be able to contact TalkTalk and get her site taken off the black list.
The little darlings grow up too quickly these days. Now maybe parents wouldn’t want little girls (or boys) checking out nail polish and fashionable shoes. TalkTalk’s own web filters block list had her site down as being adult only. The point about this is that the only reason Ashleigh-Jayne found about about this is because she is a TalkTalk customer.
Web filters block list includes fashion blog
