When N2H2 Mistakenly Calls Your Website 'Porn'?

Posted by Cliff on from the mistaken-identity dept.

Scott Auge asks: "Should one be able to sue a filtering company for libel? After seeing an article top) about filtering software for sites, I decided to take a look at how mine is listed. 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?"

    I'm the owner of www.pdrap.org and I'm offended that I am not listed in your database. I suggest that you put me in the category of "subversive liberal" but if you don't have a match for that, then pornography or foul language will do. Thanks.

    Are you seriously suggesting that someone use a free, quick, common-sense solution when instead they could spend five figures and five years on a lawsuit?

    Attitudes like yours are the reason we have so many skeletal lawyers collapsing from hunger in the street.

    I don't know how they do things in *your* country, but *here* we drive our SUVs straight to the attorney no matter what happens.
