Access to Porn sites?

Hi All,

We at Mills College have been kicking around the idea of blocking access to
porn sites on our network. Needless to say, we have gotten some push back.
Our plan (if it is green-lighted) is to use the built-in "adult" filters
that our Palo Alto firewall provides.
I am curious as to how many of you block porn sites, and if you do and
especially if you use a Palo Alto device, have you had to do a lot of
fine-tuning of your filters to eliminate false-positives?

Thanks.

Babak
