Fortinet blocks YouTube

Filed Under (Latest News) by jmolloy7302 on 16-07-2007

Fortinet has blocked the following web service sites due to the unsuitability of some of their content.

Google Video, YouTube, Flickr and Babelfish are blocked by Fortinet – the content filtering contractor for the Irish Schools’ Network. The blocking of bebo.com made sense but as too often happens when erring on the side of caution the lack of fine tuning has led to to the loss of the baby as well as the bath water especially where the display of digital imaging is concerned.

http://www.teachertube.com is not blocked by fortinet. Can’t find an alternative for flickr however.
