However, blacklists are not able to be updated as quickly as new unsafe websites are created or account for user-generated content that frequently changes. If the website is on the list, that site is blocked. With a blacklist, when a user attempts to go to a website, the URL for that website is compared to a known list of inappropriate sites. Blacklist filtering is the oldest and still most common form of website blocking today. Many families turn to blacklists, or lists of unsafe or mature websites, to keep their children’s Internet experiences safe.
