Some web content filtering systems use managed categories of URLs which are permitted or denied to their users. For example the administrator may deny access to web sites in the category "Racism", he then relies on his system maintaining up to date lists of web sites that should be included in that category.
Recently I've discovered that Cisco/Meraki systems categories Quatloos as "Hate and Racism". I bit more checking shows that Meraki use an external service "Brightcloud" for categorisation. It's likely therefore that other web filtering applications may have the same misclassification.
From that page it's possible to request change in categorisation, I've done so but I don't know how effective that is from a single request.
Any comments?
