On August 6th multiple social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, & Apple (iTunes) removed infowars.com / Alex Jones content from their platforms. We now have users requesting access to this website from our network. Looking at our firewall logs it appears that on August 10th the PAN-DB update changed infowars.com from news --> questionable. This is a default blocked URL category by PAN-DB, and we also agree to keep this category blocked.
However, I do not believe this site should be listed as questionable. There has been a legit history of Infowars / Alex Jones exposing corruption and relaying truths to the masses. May we please be provided with an official statement from Palo Alto Networks as to why they decided to change the category for this website? This seems like a polical-based motive over actual news content on the site.
Thanks, -Rags
