Why is my recruitment website being blocked?

[emmarae0102]

Hi! I have just seen today that our website appleresourcing.com is being blocked by Vodafone and stating it has 18+ content. Apple Resourcing is a recruitment company, so guaranteed there is nothing that goes against your policies on there. The site has an SSL certificate, a domain guard and is only a one-page site so pretty basic - but can anyone advise why this might be happening?

What is more confusing is when I check where else it is blocked, it is saying that it isn't blocked anywhere! See: https://www.blocked.org.uk/site/https://appleresourcing.com/ - so I have no idea where to start sorting the problem!

Just took a look at your site. There is a picture of a nurse wearing a near flesh coloured pink outfit. The algorithms that scan web sites for porn could mistake that photo to be of a naked lady. You and I know that she is fully, and decently clothed, but the algorithms have been known to make that mistake before.

@Mark I think you meant to address your reply to @emmarae0102. But on her behalf, if she doesn’t mind, I’ll thank you for her.

Hi Mark, That's brilliant. The site looks fine now. Thanks so much!

Oh apologies @MarkWeinreb. Yes I believe it was @emmarae0102's site. Sorry for the mix up 😊
