This. The way our web filters work at work is that many (but not all) websites are given a category (news, social networking, music, etc.). Then our management has a whitelist of categories. Unfortunately, not all sites are categorized (mostly small sites), and the default action for a "Category: none" is to block it. Some single sites are enabled out of policy (twitter, facebook, youtube, etc.). While it's pretty frustrating at times, it's a decent balance of freedom vs. web safety.
