It's only the domains that have been seized. US ISPs don't block websites in the same way they do in EU or China.

- michaelsmanley 5mo agoOh, that's funny. The only ISP that services my current domicile blocks sites all the time in the name of "safety," including several I need to access for my job. I have to use a VPN just to get things done. There's no appeal process or channel, either. Thankfully, I'm a month out from moving somewhere that has actual choice in providers, though I'll probably still use the VPN anyway.
- spogbiper 5mo agoIf you're on a typical US ISP, there is probably a way to avoid all filtering: pay for a business account rather than personal. Not saying it's fair or right, but it usually is an option
- petcat 5mo agoSounds like you have some kind of parental controls or safety filters enabled on your account. You can probably disable that in your account settings. I had an ISP years ago that blocked spam, malware, and phishing sites from Google's safe browsing list. Could just disable that feature in the account portal.
- trollbridge 5mo agoVerizon does block catbox.
- petcat 5mo agoThat's just because it's a frequent malware host. You can disable that in your settings or use a different DNS server.
- trollbridge 5mo agoIt still counts as a block.
- petcat 5mo agoA trivial block that is opt-in... Go to your Verizon account -> Safe Browsing -> Uncheck all the content filters you don't want.
