Radio France sells guns?

I had Sophos configured to block websites about weapons, until I tried to visit Radio France International. It was blocked because Sophos believes that RFI is a weapons site. This is only the most recent time I've run into this problem.

What good is a blocklist if it's often wrong? Sophos' lists contain too many similar mistakes and absurdities to be trustworthy. No question here, only annoyance.

Hi P Farris

I tried to access the website and it works for me, just to double check, please share the web link that you are trying to access.

My point is that Radio France was blocked by Sophos when I tried to visit it, because, according to Sophos, it promotes weapons. I don't know how Sophos determines that a website falls into a proscribed category. But claiming that this site promotes weapons is absurd.

I was able to visit the site today, only because I disabled Web Filtering in Sophos.
