Cisco Web-Based Reputation Score is now blocking kiwifarms.st

[SchloppyI.T.Man]

If any Kiwis were foolhardy enough to browse or much less post to the site while at work behind a Cisco Web Proxy, those days are over. Cisco has maligned the farms as a malicious site.
The only way an admin could alleviate this is to raise the threat tolerance of their appliance or to grant an exception where Kiwifarms is named which means there's a log somewhere that someone decided to do that.
Error pages end up looking like this:
Category: Uncategorized URLs
Reason: BLOCK-MALWARE
Threat Type: Malicious Sites
Threat Reason: Sites exhibiting malicious behaviour that do not necessarily fit into another, more granular, threat category.
Notification: WBRS

you get what you deserve when you allow another company to dictate what you can and cannot view on the mean ol internet.

 

[Sam Losco]

Only corporations will be using that and no one should be using the site on work equipment. I never do anything personal on company equipment because there is no expectation of privacy on company equipment, like to the level I just assume a keylogger exists. If you use the company wifi with your phone and it's filtered with this shit, use a VPN (you should be anyway) and that'll bypass this. My works guest wifi is so restricted, it even blocks DuckDuckGo.

It's not just corporations, this includes governments.

Right now Congress is really considering a privacy bill that if it become law would fundamentally change the way we use the Internet.

It has some good things (like encouraging better cybersecurity standards) but is also gives people the ability to take down their personal data off the Internet (like the GDPR and this concerns me because Keffals would actually have the ability to actually take us down if this becomes law).

https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/8818/text

If this gets passed into law, things like doxxing or other forms of classic trolling will become a lot harder to do (doesn't help that the FTC will enforce this if passed into law so if you dox a tranny then expect to get Alex Jones'ed in civil court), would give people the right to sue a tech firm or platform for violating their privacy, and force platforms to comply with any take down requests (Right to be Forgotten). This is just what is being introduced in Congress, who knows what amendments will be added in the final version that finds new ways to screw you over.

Both the GOP and the Democrats seem pretty keen on making this law (there's some opposition but it does have bipartisan support and anything bipartisan usually means you get screwed over).

We're the endings of a species and as much as I hate to sound blackpilled, at this rate we may go extinct.

Remember Bob Chandler? This proposal would really make the American government the Internet Lumberjack.

What is that?

 

[I'm Really Feeling It]

That's fine and whatever, but these web gateways do have separate filters for things like personal entertainment. KF isn't malicious, and an alert of "malicious" on these proxies means something as dire as phishing usually.

Web Reputation Filters assigns a Web-Based Reputation Score (WBRS) to a URL to determine the likelihood that it contains URL-based malware. The Web Security appliance uses web reputation scores to identify and stop malware attacks before they occur.

Keffals is a Canadian who lives in the United Kingdom (Northern Ireland), so this wouldn't really apply to him.

 

[Chongqing]

Agreed. A lot of companies have some clause in your contract saying if you use a consumer VPN (like one they don't provide you for your work duties) on their WiFi then it's a violation.

Hasn't stopped Keffals before.

Don't think for a second that Keffals won't find a loophole in the American justice system to find a way to screw us over. Just watch.

The main thing that stops him right now is his poor reputation among all groups alongside the other court case he did if that's still going on.

If it won't be Keffals then it probably may be someone else anyway.

Either way it goes, I'm keeping a very close eye on the status of this proposed legalization.

we've been added to this list at least 5 fucking times now. just fucking file a complaint retard.
