| May 15, 2011 at 21:56 | comment | added | user2547 | @dmckee: One possible metric that is easier to evaluate (though not necessary more meaningful) is to count the number of domains blocked/not-blocked according to whether the domain is porn/non-porn/mixed/questionable, and weighting the score by the domain's global traffic (outside the web filter). | |
| May 15, 2011 at 21:51 | comment | added | Monkey Tuesday | @rwong The thing is, I know virtually next to nothing about the technology involved. I probably don't even have the knowledge to ask this question correctly. I know there are many programmers and developers here, so anyone can feel free to edit the question as needed, or vote to delete if it's unanswerable or too broad. | |

Also, some web filters are marketed to end-users (with the blacklist chosen by vendor staff), while enterprise web filters might use an entirely different blocking mechanism (such as consensus of site administrators and submitters). | |
