"Nudity, Pornography"
Exsqueeze me??
For some reason the site is blocked at my college too.
yup. I even went to a transgender friendly place that had free wifi. Susan's was blocked there too.
You need to see how Susan set up her networking tags
I was getting tires at a Goodyear store today and got the same message!!
I'm like .....what??
i'm sure it's not a discrimination issue. As I mentioned, I have been to some pretty LGBT friendly places that has Susan's blocked for pornography and nudity too. It has to do with the administration level of the website. Something in Susan's descriptions or tags are setting off "Adult site" alarms
A lot of web filtering software employed in organisations is automated, and among other things is based on the meta tags used to describe the site to search engines.
If a site has words in the meta tags which are the same as other sites which contain inappropriate or pornographic content, such as 'sexuality', for example, then it will be blocked. Nothing to do with discrimination or censorship. After looking at the source code for the main page, there are several meta tags with the word 'sex' in them. This will likely be the reason.
what she said
If Susan meta tagged "transgender" it would have gone through. "Transsexual" has "sex" and that will trigger some searches.
Using a proxy server might help.
Write Panera HQ a letter. Often filter "customers" are able to unblock some categories or sites.
