Philadelphia Inquirer | 05/01/2003 | They look at porn all day, so others won't be able to

] Some days, work is so horrible that Christa Adams must
] leave her desk and take a walk around the building to
] calm down. The horrifying, violent sexual images that pop
] up on her computer screen still unnerve her.
]
] But she is no longer shocked. After all, she went looking
] for those images. It is part of the job when you are a
] porn-tracker.
]
] She is one of about a dozen "verifier technicians" at 8e6
] Technologies, an Orange-based firm that develops software
] for organizations seeking to keep employees or children
] from looking at inappropriate Web sites.
]
] For the most part, the idea of looking at porn on the
] Internet all day - and getting paid for it - brings
] mischievous grins to their faces, though they concede
] that the job is not as exciting as it may seem.

] The "Sinful Six" is the name for the subject categories
] that customers most frequently ask 8e6 to block -
] pornography, anarchy, criminal skills, gambling,
] hate/discrimination, and obscene or tasteless material.

I'd be interested to know how they define "anarchy" and "obscene" sites. Many of the sites that I surf to on a daily basis (especially the blog sites) might easily fit into either of those categories. ;)
