Workplace content filters are useless.

Apparently Bluecoat‘s web content filtering product thinks my portfolio or my older portfolio have nudity on them.

That is not true.

I have never seen a workplace content filter that was worth the money paid for it. They always seem to make research harder.

two comments...

Crazy! At least when ours pops up (Websense, I think) there is a link where we can report a wrongo blockage. I’ve submitted several blogs this way and they’re unblocked within the day.

That’s cool, unfortunately this was sent to me, asking quizzically about why my portfolio was blocked.

I may have figured it out, or rather Leah did, I have a collection of pinup art in some recesses of the site that might be the source of the blockage.
