Schoolcraft College does not block adult content sites. These sites “in theory” can be used for research so we allow them.

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of Schoolcraft College. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Hi All, We at Mills College have been kicking around the idea of blocking access to porn sites on our network. Needless to say, we have gotten some push back. Our plan (if it is green-lighted) is to use the built-in "adult" filters that our Palo Alto firewall provides. I am curious as to how many of you block porn sites, and if you do and especially if you use a Palo Alto device, have you had to do a lot of fine-tuning of your filters to eliminate false-positives? Thanks.
