Danish Web site dedicated to criticizing the American system of capital punishment, http://www.fdp.dk, which N2H2 blocked as “Pornography”; and “Dumb Laws,” a humor Web site that makes fun of outmoded laws, http://www.dumblaws.com, which N2H2 blocked under its “Sex” category.  Erroneously blocked Web sites relating to health issues included the following:  a guide to allergies, http://www.x-sitez.com/allergy, which was categorized as “Adults Only, Pornography” by N2H2; a health question and answer site sponsored by Columbia University, http://www.goaskalice.com.columbia.edu, which was blocked as “Sex” by N2H2, and as “Mature” by Smartfilter; the Western Amputee Support Alliance Home Page, http://www.usinter.net/wasa, which was blocked by N2H2 as “Pornography”; the Web site of the Willis-Knighton Cancer Center, a Shreveport, Louisiana cancer treatment facility, http://cancerftr.wkmc.com, which was blocked by Websense under the “Sex” category; and a site dealing with halitosis, http://www.dreamcastle.com/tungs, which was blocked by N2H2 as “Adults, Pornography,” by Smartfilter as “Sex,” by Cyber Patrol as “Adult/Sexually Explicit,” and by Websense as “Adult Content.”

The filtering programs also erroneously blocked several Web sites having to do with education and careers.  The filtering programs blocked two sites that provide information on home schooling.  “HomEduStation – the Internet Source for Home Education,” http://www.perigee.net/~mcmullen/homedustation/, was categorized by Cyber Patrol as “Adult/Sexually Explicit.”  Smartfilter blocked “Apricot:  A Web site made by and for home schoolers,” http://apricotpie.com, as “Sex.”  The programs also miscategorized several career-related sites.  “Social Work Search,” http://www.socialworksearch.com/, is a directory for social workers that Cyber Patrol placed in its “Adult/Sexually Explicit” category.  The “Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Southern Nevada,” http://www.lambdalv.com, “a forum for the business community to develop relationships within the Las Vegas lesbian, gay, transsexual, and bisexual community” was blocked by N2H2 as “Adults Only, Pornography.”  A site for aspiring dentists, http://www.vvm.com/~bond/home.htm, was blocked by Cyber Patrol in its “Adult/Sexually Explicit” category.  The filtering programs erroneously blocked many travel Web sites, including:  the Web site for the Allen Farmhouse Bed & Breakfast of Alleghany County, North Carolina, http://planet-nc.com/Beth/index.html, which Websense blocked as “Adult Content”; Odysseus Gay Travel, a travel company serving gay men, http://www.odyusa.com, which N2H2 categorized as “Adults Only, Pornography”; Southern Alberta Fly Fishing Outfitters, http://albertaflyfish.com, which N2H2 blocked as “Pornography”; and “Nature and Culture Conscious Travel,” a tour operator in Namibia, http://www.trans-namibia-tours.com, which was categorized as “Pornography” by N2H2.
