Why is vodafone blocking my website?

[jackhood9]

Hi,

My website https://ce-tech.info/

Is being blocked by vodafone, stating that it's an 18+ website (it's not 18+ at all!)

It works on wifi and O2 networks, but vodafone is giving an issue.

I have https enabled and SSL certificates (can be checked on 

Please can this be fixed

Hi there.

Any news perhaps please ?

Many thanks,

Zoe

Hi @zoeballz. I've double-checked your reclassification (INC000004909747) and we're still waiting for your case to be worked. We completely understand the importance of getting this sorted and rest assured that once we've got an update, we'll let you know as soon as possible - all INC's raised through the Community are checked daily by us.

Hi there,

It's now been 2 1/2 weeks. Is there any news please ? I have no idea why it's taking this long ? It's not THAT difficult. I realise it's not you personally but if my site were making money, I would potentially be losing LOADS.

Thanks,

Zoe

Hi Zoe, I have checked your case and I can see it has been upheld as pornography. I've looked through the site and I can see there's no nudity but there are some sexually suggestive pictures. I've emailed the team asking for clarification on the policy guidelines.

Thanks for the reply.

How would they like to be taken to court for LIBEL then ? PORN MY ***. There is NOTHING on my site that cannot be seen on thousands of other sites by famous people that you wouldn't DARE block. Sounds more like some transphobic m***n is currently employed by Vodaphone.

Shall I take it that you currently block TWITCH for their "hot tub streamers" ? And NETFLIX cos they have movies that contain sex scenes ? I'm interested to know.

Morning @zoeballz - I'm sorry this has made you feel this way. This is something we take seriously. I've had a look through the site and it appears there's a link on there, which does link to a pornographic site. I can't confirm the link here, although please go through the links that divert to other sites on your pages, to see which one we mean. 

Please come back to me here if you need anything else. 

[zoeballz]

Ok I found it. SO because my website had ONE SINGLE LINK to a website that I USED to own (a number of years ago now), and apparently now has been bought and made into a porn site, you hold ME responsible for THEIR actions. I guess you must have FACEBOOK blocked as well then. You'll find THOUSANDS of links to porn from there, as well as MOST social media sites as well. Blocking them as well are we ?

Anyway, I have removed the link. Please now REMOVE ME from your blacklist.

Hi @zoeballz Thanks for letting us know that you've removed the link. 

I've now re-raised the case to our Network team to get this investigated and removed from the blacklist.

Hi there,

We believe app.skiff.com is being blocked by Vodafone. Could we get clarification on why and get this block lifted?

Thanks!
