Should we add an anti-porn igset?

Open TheTechRobo opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

I don't watch, nor do I archive, porn.

Should we add some porn sites to the global igset?

Alternatively should we at least make an "antiporn" igset?

This sounds antithetical to the idea of digital archival and preservation and something that should probably be left to individuals electing to use grab-site to manually define in their igset config.

That makes sense. In that case, do you think adding a specialised igset for it would be good?

@TheTechRobo Hard to say; I've never had the need to ignore adult content in my web archival crawls. If you think there's a need, a course of action might be to spike an initial adult site igset and see what consumption of it by grab-site users (product market fit sort of thing).

I was archivinng a huuge number of a Reddit user's bookmarks for them; I'm not sure if they watch it themselves or if their bookmarks were just sketchy websites but I saw a LOT of itt in my queue.

Doesn't hurt to add one ig, I'll see if I have the time (and motivation :P)

edit: sorry for the double letters, my keyboard seems to bne running out of battery...
