When N2H2 Mistakenly Calls Your Website 'Porn'?

Posted by Cliff on from the mistaken-identity dept.

Upon punching my site in at this N2H2 form, I see it listed as pornography. One look at my site, and you will know it is far from pornography. doesn't seem quite right to me. Opinions?"

    You can only sue for wreckless disregard for the truth, and this doesn't look wreckless, nor does it look like you're being caused any harm.

    go to that link, rate them, rate for block, in comments put "porn"

    Touche! Well done. I dig your style, man.

    Here's what I gave them as comments for my "block" rating:

    Unfairly labels non-pornographic sites as "pornography". Therefore might also create "false negatives" by failing to label pornographic sites as such. Recommend blocking so as to be safe in either case.
