Dear all, Was there any decision about domain name filtering in Poesia? The question is when we find www.sex.co.uk to be a porn page, and we decide to store the site in the blacklist. We can store sex.co.uk instead of the whole name because that will block all other pages in this domain like www2.sex.co.uk. We will not store co.uk because it is a second level domain and any attempt to resolve it fails. But we may find some Internet hosting services that hosts porn and non porn pages. The legislation about the responsibility of hosting companies is not clear and varies from a country to another. Could you point me to some documents if this subject was discussed by the Poesia consortium? Thank you in advance. Riadh. |

It was quite versatile (IIRC, regexp on components of the URL, including domain names). It is probably documented in some technical deliverable (publicly available). Regards. Basile Starynkevitch |
