#fortiguard — Public Fediverse posts on home.social

The categorization of the Fortinet web filter is hilarious. I got a report that a certain website is incorrectly blocked by our firewall. After looking into it, the specific website belongs to a large organization.

Different organizational levels of this large organization are categorized as:

Political organization (federal level)
General organization (state level)
Advocacy organization (local level), giving it an R age rating (18+)

The “correct” classification should be either general organization or simply “business”.

This is wrong on many levels. Why are advocacy groups blocked by default? Why do they have an R rating (because politics is only for adults? But then why only advocacy groups and not political organizations?).
