Based on observed behavior, https://www.glaad.org/ is "adult content" according to Cloudflare.

Acknowledging the existence of GLBTQ+ people is apparently "inappropriate" to them.



Yeah, so is https://glsen.org ... that's a big yikes.


Getting that fixed right now.

* Fixed.


glaad.org should be accessible now. Sorry about that. We are working through the first public use of this and appreciate people reporting problems.

How did you generate/obtain the initial block list?


This is a great question. For any service like this, there should at least be transparency. As a parent, I'd be interested in understanding:

1. How the block list was initially populated

2. What clear and objective rules govern which sites should and shouldn't be included

3. Who determines those rules, and what is the process for changing the rules

4. How often are those rules proactively reviewed or changed

5. How is the block list verified as following those rules

6. What the process is when a false positive or false negative is found, reported either internally or externally

Maybe I missed it but I didn't see any of this information posted on the site.


What other lifesaving resources for young queer folks are your DNS filters hiding? How did you source this block list and what sort of transparency do you expect to provide ?


You should be ashamed of yourself for working on this product. It is evil, and will have evil consequences. It is intrinsically homophobic. It will be used to abuse vulnerable young people.
