We looked at server side and client side filtering and went for client side at the moment because we have our own client application with server side to be added later. We intercept link activity and call out to a web service that gives us a 'clean/dirty' result and categorises the link, eg, news, sport etc. We're planning and ejabberd module server side that does the same for all stanzas routed via the platform.
