Re: Porn Friday ?

I've yet to see a filtering product that is 100% accurate - either for virus detection or content inspection.

If even the big boys can't do it, then what chance to "Logan" stand ?

My favorite (real) story here is of a female security officer I worked with, who whilst at Infosec challenged a vendor that did skin tone detection to see how good the product was, by using a couple of sites by name. It only took her a couple of minutes to find some that weren't detected correctly.

There are also places that can't do filtering effectively without breaking the business need - take many medical roles. I've seen them use a trust and verify approach. It flags as potentially bad but allows people to continue - subject to post viewing review by a human.
