WebBlocker Categories
The WebBlocker database contains nine groups of categories with 40 individual categories. A web site
is added to a category when the contents of the web site meet the correct criteria. Web sites that give
opinions or educational material about the subject matter of the category are not included. For exam-
ple, the drugs/drug culture category denies sites that tell how to use marijuana. They do not deny sites
with information about the historical use of marijuana.
