Bsecure is a net nanny filter provider. They proudly boast on their website that they are endorsed by the American Family Association, as well as Joe Gibbs and the National Rifle Association.Bsecure has placed MemeStreams on a number of their filter lists. The description of some of these lists, as applied to MemeStreams, is simply defamatory. There is no other reasonable description. Here are the filter lists. The first one is not a big deal. Web Logs Websites which feature commentary and articles written a long or journal format, generally called blogs. These blogs can be from personal or non-commercial sources.
The next one gets a little fuzzy. Hacking Websites which promote unlawful or questionable tools to gain access to software or hardware, communications equipment, or passwords. This category includes sites that discuss password generation, compiled binaries, hacking tools, or software piracy.
We talk about hacking and security here frequently. I think the people here usually stop short of "promoting... unlawful tools to gain access..." but TI seems to have gotten confused about that... The next category cuts even closer to the line: Unsavory/Dubious: Websites which contain material of a questionable legal or ethical nature. This category includes sites that promote or distribute products, information, or devices whose use may be deemed unethical or illegal.
In order to read that paragraph in such a way that you could fairly apply it to this site you'd have to parse it like a piece of legislation. Clearly its unfair when considered in totality. Here is where the line gets crossed. Malicious Code/Spyware/Viruses Websites which may promote destructive or harmful computer code, or software intended to monitor user behavior without the user's knowledge and consent. This category applies to instruction, message board, or download sites that offer this material.
MemeStreams has never distributed Malicious Code, Spyware, or Viruses. But they don't stop there. The accusations keep coming: Criminal Skills: Websites which promote illegal or criminal activity such as credit card theft, illegal surveillance, and murder.
Credit card theft, illegal surveillance, and murder!?@? What the fuck are these people talking about? Bsecure claims that sometimes they make "mistakes" when categorizing websites. Perhaps these are "mistakes?" I don't think so. It turns out that lots of prominent security sites such as seclists.org and NT Bug Traq are placed in the exact same categories (promoting murder and the like). However, Security Focus, a website which distributes every known exploit for every known computer security vulnerability, has a clean bill of health and two thumbs up from Bsecure. Why is Memestreams a "criminal site" and Security Focus is not? Well, there is one obvious difference between us. The later is owned by a public company with a 14 billion dollar market capitalization, so they are in a better position than we are to file defamation suits. Could that have some baring on their categorization? I dunno. But one thing is for sure, although I generally support the right to bare arms, I can't support a political group who endorsed somebody who claims that my website promotes credit card theft, illegal surveillance, and murder. I can't wait for the next fool who asks me what I think of the NRA! |
