During working hours and while in the office, I have regularly gone to Mark's Daily Apple, and even have several pages of recipes bookmarked. Never been a problem. Today, I got the following message:

Access to this site is Prohibited! - Content categorization: "Health;Suspicious"

What is the process for determining what categories are blocked? Who decides?

Senior level Human Resources, Legal and Information Protection executives and managers have and will continue to review the categories to be blocked. These choices are consistent with Corporate Electronic Resource Use Policy, industry best practices, our rules of conduct, and local, national, and regional regulatory requirements.

:D

I wonder when they will block MFP...

    Sensors are overstepping a bit I would think!

    They don't want you to improve your health? I guess they'd rather work you to death.

    Sounds like someone thinks Paleo is "dangerous" or something...

    Most likely sites that show a lot of traffic in your network show up on their radar and they block based on the fact you spend more time there than working, etc.

    My anti virus picks up MDA as a threat so I have to authorize each time I access the site. So maybe it's being flagged in your IT dept ? ?

    LOL, I like this theory ;-) However, Facebook and Amazon are not blocked!

    Probably because those are the sites **THEY** love and might be considered to have business use...

    I actually ended up with one of the keto calculator sites broken for weeks in a link warning page like you described above, so I've no idea. Honestly, I've had that with MFP too, so I think there is a bad batch of ads floating around the interwebs at the moment.
