I have been going through the uBlock Origin filters that IronFox applies out the box, just to get a better understanding of what's going on under the hood, and one of the linked GitHub pages says that uAssets doesn't address porn farms. What on earth is a porn farm...?

So I searched online and found everything from cowboys getting railed to bestiality, but couldn't find answer to your question.

Hope this helps

God bless. 😘 You have Ko-Fi? I'd like to send a token of my gratitude.

I dig the history of README.md and found this

Commit 9591fff Yuki2718 committed on Apr 2, 2022

#### Porn-farms
- Sites found to be porn-farms or part of porn-farms will not be addressed in uAssets.
+ Sites found to be porn-farms (families of mass-produced porn sites without any original contents) or part of porn-farms will not be addressed in uAssets.

there are later updates that changed wording until it become what you see now

I should also mention that the first inclusion of that word and this commit with parentheses is done by different person. So, take with grain of salt ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ah, this made it super clear. It's spamdexing porn. Thanks.

It ain't much, but it's dishonest work.

So, you won't be able to figure that out using uBlock.
