    We need answers. I have several suddenly blocked inquiries because a ton of cannabis and drug websites are blocked under the same filter. This was never the case before today. None of these websites have porn on them. I've never had problems until recently it's been very bad now, almost unusable for my purposes. What gives?

     

    Just because someone has a personal conviction doesn't mean these websites should be censored under this category. Is someone at NextDns got a political mind that's prefers censorship over providing the service you originally intended? Don't falsely block news websites that you disagree with or important cannabis/drug  information under the Porn category.  I understand why YOU might want that for YOUR internet, but I DON'T so. Please fix the filter and modify your OWN filter. Otherwise, you need separate catagories for drugs and news if you continue on this path because it's clear you're using the Porn filter as your personal ethical soap box. 

     

    I wouldn't recommend anyone to buying a year of service if you're going to change the filters drastically without warning like this. 99% of the time NextDns works great but this makes me reasonably upset since I've already paid. One may use an alternative DNS to escape surveillance and your judgment is no better. Fix the Porn filter and please stop modifying it beyond those bounds.

    Thanks for reporting, this is an error of our AI driven adult content detection. We will fix it ASAP. Please report other domains you found with the same problem if any.

    An AI being programmed to do that means someone. some body there still made this happen, don't use a technology as a way to not take accountability. Artifical Intelligence feeds off datasets. The dataset could have been updated. Don't use some fictional AI to cover for personal responsibility. Take accountability for the change that was made since I'd rather feel like you are in control of your own software, and not like it's somehow already losing control. Thanks :)

      Kalev G Agreed.  Hope this gets fixed soon as it is still blocking the site for me.

      servilo  There are a ton of sites being blocked.  NextDNS has been going downhill for awhile now. Sad really.

      servilo we will check 1). All other domains mentioned are blocked by many third party tracker blocklists, they are unlikely false positive but if you think they are, they would have to be reported to those individual third party blocklist maintainers.

      NextDNS I've reported websites 2,3,4,5 because they should be blocked by third party tracker blocklists, not by  Porn category.
