"Happier Abroad" Blocked in Oman

Post by ladislav »

I am using a paid unblocker to get to your site here in Oman. It is blocked because it is deemed pornographic:

It says: "Blocked by Omantel. Pornography".

The porn in this site has been cleaned out though. Is there any left?

There must be. My friend's child-locked computer cannot access the site. Is there any software which can scan through every thread and find all the explicit images so you can then remove them?

I wish Malaysia would block my dating site then I'd have less scammers lol.

Filters are pretty rubbish at what they do. One thing to check is that if AdSense won't show on a post or article then it thinks something is amiss.

I've noticed that AdSense doesn't like photos of ladyboys so the bikini photos on the site are probably what Oman doesn't like.

In the UK thepiratebay is now blocked which is a nuisance but luckily kat.ph and the other 10 million torrent sites are still available!
I was Happier Abroad for a while but Covid killed that off.

it's not only images ... it's also words, like porn, sex, ladyboy, prositute, trangender etc that are picked up on sites like yours, (the content)
