Another recent change to XMLSpider is adding a bad keywords list alongside the bad extensions list. The default is empty, you can set this if you want, e.g. when first configuring the spider, at the same time as setting the buffer size and the number of requests to run; it matches against the full URI's of sites to be added to the list of sites to fetch and index. Our legal advice suggests using this feature may be inadvisable if you are going to publish your index - censor everything or censor nothing. However if you are testing the code, don't intend to publish your index, and dislike stuff showing up in "running uri" (i.e. that your node is fetching in order to index) that is obviously e.g. child porn, it is convenient.
No, I have no intention of adding any censorship features to Freenet. Nor does any other developer as far as I know. The above is purely on the side of the person creating an index, is a very small amount of code, and could easily be hacked in by anyone willing to maintain a fork. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
