Have you ever noticed Amazon’s recommendations? They frequently suggest products to me based on my prior purchases, and most of the time it’s stuff I’d never dream of buying. They’re shooting for that 10% of the time or so that I say, “Yeah, I’ll order that from Amazon too.” And that’s harmless enough.

I’ll admit, I use a mild filter for spam email. I get so much email that it some sort of filter to weed out viruses and obvious spam is a necessity.

With websites, though, I figure it’s my choice whether or not to go there in the first place…just as it’s my choice to tune my radio dial or flip through TV channels. I’m not going to pay some company, assuming they’ll have the same objections that I have all the time, because the pressure is on them to just take the easy road and “block all blogs” or something equally stupid.

I’m particularly upset that they’ve gone an extra step and accused me of promoting cult activity, though. That’s defamation of character, and I plan to complain about it loud and clear…not just to BSafe, but also to the companies and popular individuals who endorse it.

DBM’s filter of “clicking the little X at the top of the page” is the best advice I can give you Daniel.

It’s not even available to those who use the filter; you just type in a website and if it comes up, it comes up, and if not, not.

Dean, I’ve wondered the same thing. It’s clear for now, but they must just not have found it yet.
