Internet, Blacklist | featured news

Google has expanded its search blacklist to include many of the top file-sharing sites on the Internet, including The Pirate Bay. The changes were quietly processed and appear to be broader than previous additions. Google’s blacklist prevents the names of sites appearing in their Instant and Autocomplete search services, while the pages themselves remain indexed.

OpenDNS has published their report on the most whitelisted and most blacklisted sites of the year 2010 that might help you get some idea on how the sites are being used by the individuals and organizations. You can see the outlook of its subscribers on the sites they are blacklisting and how some sites useful for some can be even blacklisted by others though not in ethical sense.
