Are Newsgroups filtered?
Yes. Newsgroups are NOT traditional news mediums such as NBC, CBS, and CNN. Newsgroups are better described as a worldwide bulletin board. While newsgroups are being used less and less by the average users, some people still use newsgroups, especially for research. Many filtered ISPs and filtering products overlook newsgroups. ‘My Content Filter’ allows access to mainstream newsgroups, while blocking access to newsgroups that are primarily built on pornography and illegal content.
