As of this writing, the websites of the New Braunfels Republican Women, the Kiddie Kollege Nursery School, the Freemasons’ District Grand Lodge of East Africa, the Weston Community Children’s Association, and the Rotary Club of Midland, Ontario are all categorized as “pornography” by Blue Coat Internet blocking software. Blue Coat Systems provides a lookup form that you can use to see how their system categorizes a website; you can see the screen captures for the categorizations of the above-listed sites here, here, here, here, and here. (The complete list of miscategorized sites that we found, is listed at the end of this report. Unless otherwise specified, all sites mentioned in this report, are currently classified by Blue Coat as “pornography.”)

Blue Coat Systems is based in Sunnyvale, California and manufactures a range of Internet filtering products, often used in schools and workplaces. On any network where the software is installed and configured to block sites categorized as “pornography,” users will be denied access to such sites.

The company was previously the subject of an in-depth report published by the Citizen Lab in January 2013, describing the use of Blue Coat devices in Syria and Burma for mandatory country-wide Internet censorship. Several dozen other Blue Coat installations were found in 19 “countries of interest” that were known to have a history of Internet censorship and human rights violations, such as China, Saudi Arabia, and Venezuela. As discussed in the report, it is not currently against US law for American companies to sell censorship software to foreign governments, although the practice is controversial. However, the use of the filtering appliances on Syrian networks prompted concerns from the US Department of Commerce about whether Blue Coat had sold those devices in violation of U.S. sanctions against Syria. Blue Coat claimed that the products had been bought by an entity in Dubai and re-sold to ISPs in Syria without Blue Coat’s knowledge.

Citizen Lab’s report concluded by posing several questions to Blue Coat, such as: “What human rights policy commitments and due diligence measures does Blue Coat Systems have in place concerning the development and sales of its products and services?” The report stated: “We commit to publishing in full Blue Coat System’s reply.” Citizen Lab did not receive a response from the company.

Compared to the practice of selling “censorware” to foreign governments with poor human rights records, there has been far less controversy over the simple miscategorization of websites as “pornography” by Internet blocking companies. There have been no public reports to date on sites that have been miscategorized by Blue Coat specifically, although there have been reports about other products, such as Citizen Lab’s post in November 2013 about sites miscategorized by SmartFilter. (As discussed below, a few sites actually showed up on both lists—miscategorized as “pornography” by both Blue Coat and SmartFilter—for reasons that are not clear.)

Some of the entities whose websites were classified as “pornography,” such as the Kiddie Kollege Nursery School, or the Lotus Valley Public School of Haryana, India, would likely be scandalized if their customers or the public came to believe, as a result of misclassification by Blue Coat, that their websites really were hosting “pornography.” (In the case of other miscategorized websites such as http://www.dicksofamerica.org, the proprietors would most likely be bemused by error.)

As with the SmartFilter report, we tested a large number of URLs against Blue Coat’s filtering system using a combination of ad hoc spidering and URL lists. After identifying a subset of URLs classified by Blue Coat as “pornography,” we reviewed the site contents to identify classifications that appeared to be errors. Some were obvious errors, and others were “borderline cases,” where the site contained no true pornography but it is plausible that a reviewer might have mistakenly applied the label after finding the site’s contents to be “inappropriate.” Blue Coat’s site lookup form gives their working definition of “pornography:”

Sites that contain sexually explicit material for the purpose of arousing a sexual or prurient interest.

None of the sites we counted as “errors,” contained any material that we could find which fit that definition.

While Blue Coat’s site lookup form does not give a reason for the categorization of particular sites, there were some sites for which we could infer a possible reason for the miscategorization. Only one site in our list, http://www.againstchildporn.org, contained an obvious keyword (“porn”) in the domain name which would have likely caused the site to be misclassified. A few other sites such as http://www.gambiawomen.org (“women”) and http://www.dicksofamerica.org (“dicks”) contained keywords which may have triggered the “pornography” categorization. (The latter site does in fact reference the humorous use of the word “dick,” although it is also the site owner’s first name.) Several other sites in our list contained content on the front page that may have caused Blue Coat’s system to categorize the site as “pornography:”

http://www.foundations4betterliving.org

This website quotes these statistics on the front page: “A growing variety of sexual behaviour is being practiced by teens 15- to 19-year-old, a study by Urban Institute shows:- 53% admit to masturbating.

- 49% have participated in oral sex.

- 39% have given oral sex.

- 11% have had anal sex.

- Kids perceive oral and anal sex as ‘not really sex’ and often as part of abstinence.”

http://www.gargaro.org

Carolyn Gargaro’s website, “Home of a Conservative Female,” has a link to pages of “cam” (i.e. webcam) photos. Webcam photos are so commonly found on pornographic websites that the term “cam” may have triggered a keyword filter, although Gargaro’s photos are exclusively non-pornographic pictures of her sitting at her desk.

http://www.kohnke.org

The Kohnke family home page features family photos, including a link labeled “new kid pics,” which a keyword filter may have assumed referred to pornography.

http://www.nbrw.com

The home page New Braunfels Republican Women may have been miscategorized because of the word ‘women’ in the title. (This site, in fact, was also categorized by SmartFilter as ‘pornography.’)

http://www.PurityRevolution.org

This site advocates abstinence for teenagers, and contains numerous instances of the words “sex” and “oral sex,” mostly in close proximity of the word “teen.” (However, we also note that the same website is reachable by the URL http://www.braveheart.org, and this URL is categorized by Blue Coat (accurately) as “Charitable Organizations and Sex Education.” This counts as evidence against the notion that the URL http://www.PurityRevolution.org was blacklisted solely because of the keywords on the front page. On the other hand, it is possible that Blue Coat’s crawler visited the URLs http://www.PurityRevolution.org and http://www.braveheart.org at different times, and in the interim had changed its threshold for categorized a site as “pornography,” which could possibly lead to one URL being categorized as “pornography” but not the other.)

http://www.therapy-space.org

This website is titled “Porn Recovery UK” and is categorized by Blue Coat as “pornography.” (On the other hand, the actual website http://www.porn-recovery.co.uk, which appears to be run by the same organization but contains different content, is categorized by Blue Coat as “health.”)

http://neobit.org

neoBIT.org advertises itself as a maker of emulators for “dongles.” (The word “dongle,” which appears twenty-two times on the neoBIT.org homepage, has never actually entered popular usage as anatomical slang, but the suggestiveness of the word has often been employed for humour.)

Meanwhile, there are a few sites in our sample categorized by Blue Coat as “pornography”, whose content is not pornographic, but may have been considered sufficiently “questionable” that it’s plausible that a human reviewer may have miscategorized it:

http://www.dicksofamerica.org

According to the site, ”Dicks of America is an organization dedicated to making Dick the most beloved name in America – if not the world! The name Dick has become a four-letter-word that also refers to a very familiar part of the male anatomy. Why, it’s enough to get a Dick down!” A human reviewer, believing the site content to be not “appropriate” for work, could have hastily classified it as “pornography.”

http://www.foib.org

The website, “Fuck Off, I’m Busy,” is intended as a link to send to friends to indicate one wants to be left along. Again, not pornographic.

http://www.mapsu.org

The website, “Mothers Against Peeing Standing Up,” contains a stick figure of a male urinating, but even the stick figure doesn’t have a visible penis.

http://www.discomfortzone.org

The website is subtitled “the pain & ecstasy of learning,” and the first photo on the page is of a pair of boots (paired with a blog post titled “Spanish Boot Camp”). It is plausible that a person making a very quick glance at the site (perhaps under pressure to review a large number of sites at once) might have made the connection between “pain & ecstasy” and dominatrix boots, and classified the website as sexually explicit.

http://www.fourthewin.org

The website is described as “an artist collective of four awesome girls.” The front page contains a graphic showing cartoon caricatures of the four authors. Again, an overworked human reviewer might have made a very cursory glance at the page contents and believed the image to be too suggestive or indicative of anime pornography.

http://safe-sex.org 

This safe sex website does contain blog posts on somewhat prurient topics such as “Safe Sex with Expensive London Escorts” (and some phrases such as “expensive London escort girls” are even linked to real escort websites, which may be part of a pay-for-link arrangement). However, the site itself still contains no pornography and apparently not even any nudity (a picture on the front page, emphasizing condom usage, shows a condom being fitted over a sausage).

http://www.performancespace.org

This art collective website has some photos of nearly nude models, but in the photos we reviewed, no models were actually nude and the photos were in any case not sexually explicit.

It would be natural to assume that, in the cases of the sites listed above, the reason they were mistakenly blocked as “pornography” by Blue Coat was either because of the keywords that appear on the page or in the domain name, or because of their “borderline” content. Certainly out of the sites that we found to be blocked in error, a high proportion of them contain “borderline” content and probable-trigger keywords, higher than would be expected if we had selected sites from the web at random.

On the other hand, many other websites such as Singing Bowls of Tuscon Shambhala, The Sumter Community Concert Band, and Reunion Ministries, are also categorized by Blue Coat as “pornography” despite having no pornographic content and no apparent keywords or content that could have triggered even an accidental misclassification as “porn.”

So, it is possible that a certain number of sites are wrongly blocked by Blue Coat as a result of some pseudo-random process, and a certain number of those sites will just happen to have keywords or questionable content on them—but the keywords and the content may not be the cause of the blocking. (It is impossible to know for sure, since Blue Coat’s lookup form does not give reasons for a site’s classification.)

A small number of sites in our sample were miscategorized by both SmartFilter and Blue Coat as “pornography.” They are:

http://www.balticsail.org

A site promoting sailing in the Baltic Sea.

http://www.barenboimsaidusa.org

A youth orchestra featuring musicians from Israel, Palestine, and various Arab countries.

http://www.fias.org

The International Sambo Federation.

http://www.germanhouse.org

http://www.nbrw.com

http://www.rediscover-iran.org

A program promoting summer programs in Iran for Iranian-Americans.

http://www.reunioncenter.org

Reunion Ministries, a religious non-profit organization offering counselling and healing services.

The fact that these sites are miscategorized by both products is something of a mystery. If either SmartFilter or Blue Coat were simply miscategorizing a random subset of non-pornographic websites as “pornography,” then we would expect the overlap to be much smaller. (Out of roughly 150 websites listed in each report, eight were also miscategorized by the other product, or about six percent. But despite all the errors made by both products, the proportion of non-pornographic websites that either product categorizes as “pornography” is generally far less than six percent. So the high overlap appears to be due to something other than chance.) However, there appears to be no common factors that would cause these websites to have a greater-than-average chance of being miscategorized as “pornography.” None of them contain any questionable content or keywords likely to trigger a “pornography” categorization (except possibly for the “New Braunfels Republican Women”).

The sampling of sites that we found to be incorrectly classified as “pornography” by Blue Coat, is below. Each site is listed together with a link (labeled “sc”) to a screen capture showing the site classified as “pornography” on Blue Coat’s lookup form. The classifications are current as of this writing; Blue Coat may change the categorization of these sites in the future.
