Email and Web filters are funny things.  I once installed a new email filter system for a Government department downunder.  I informed the boss that there were a load of fancy filters for various things and did he want them turned on.  He said "turn'em all on!"   I did so.  Email stopped.  Appears Australians use far more robust language than Americans.  The filters got turned off, email started to flow again. 

Seen the same problem for web filters.  I worked for a University medical research school for a while.  Got told to turn on all the filters there.  Did so, the web stopped for all those researchers doing breast cancer research.   

The filters are at best primitive in their application and often can be quite capricious.  Makes administering them a real pain in the posterior. 

Three examples of the sorts of requests I've had for exceptions to web filters:

1. For that Government department I once got a request that a certain user had to be allowed to access various, say we say, "salicious" websites advertising the services of ladies of negotiable virtue.  When questioned why, his reply was that he was tracking certain well known "personalities" who were known to frequent these sites who may have broken certain laws the Department administered.   After a lot of eye-rolling from me as to how he was going to track these people via third party websites which never featured pictures of the clientele, I had to grant him access.   

2. Another example from the same department was a young female researcher who was working with police on analysing certain smokeable herbs and needed access to the various sites which provided advice on how to grow them.  She got it without a question.   

3. Final example was the best though.  Had a Ranger come and ask to be given access to emails from a telephone company which traced the movements of certain individuals' mobile phones physically across the network from tower to tower to show the routes they had taken across the countryside, as against what they claimed they had taken.  Those individuals were suspected of wildlife smuggling.  He brought down a baby python to show us the sorts of wildlife which were in danger.  It was beautiful to look at and a joy to handle for a few minutes.   He got it without a question.
