Wilmington, North Carolina once had a thriving Black middle class and an elected interracial government. In 1898 white supremacists used violence to overthrow that government, kill Black residents and drive many others from the city.

| Purpose | Content adaptation |
| Developers | Peter Danzig and John Schuster |
| Introduction | Proposed: 1999 Standardized: April 2003 |
| OSI layer | Application layer (7) |
| RFC | 3507 |
The Internet Content Adaptation Protocol (ICAP) is a lightweight HTTP-like streaming RPC protocol specified in RFC 3507. It is used to extend transparent proxy servers in a scalable way, thereby freeing up resources and standardizing the way in which new features are implemented. ICAP is generally used to implement virus scanning and content filters in transparent HTTP proxy caches. It can also be used for language translation. Content adaptation refers to performing the particular value added service (content manipulation) for the associated client request/response.
ICAP concentrates on leveraging edge-based devices (caching proxies) to help deliver value-added services. At the core of this process is a cache that will proxy all client transactions and will process them through web servers. These ICAP servers are focused on a specific function, for example, ad insertion, virus scanning, multi-AV scanning, content translation, language translation, or content filtering. Off-loading value-added services from web servers to ICAP servers allows those same web servers to be scaled according to raw HTTP throughput versus having to handle these extra tasks.
ICAP was proposed in late 1999 by Peter Danzig and John Schuster[1] from Network Appliance.[2] Don Gillies took over the project in the spring of 2000 and enhanced the protocol in three main ways:
Gillies prototyped the first ICAP client and server for the NetCache series of internet caches in mid-2000 (known as ICAP 0.9 protocol) and produced training materials for vendors. The client was written in C++ in the core of the NetCache server, and the demonstration ICAP Server was written in Perl and employed the Debian word-replacement filters to rewrite web pages, skipping over the HTML tags, and translating web pages into Swedish Chef or Jive in real time.[3] With knowledge learned from the prototyping experience, Gillies revised the IETF draft standard to make RPCs using only chunked encoding, greatly simplifying the ICAP protocol.[1]

Cleanfeed was the name given to various privately administered ISP level content filtering systems operating in the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia with a view to future mandatory implementation. These government-mandated programs originally attempted to block access to child pornography and abuse content located outside of the nation operating the filtering system.
uBlock Origin ( YOO-blok) is a free and open-source browser extension for content filtering, including ad blocking. The extension is available for Chromium, Edge, Firefox, Brave, Opera, Pale Moon, as well as versions of Safari before 13 and Google Chrome before December 2024. uBlock Origin has received praise from technology websites and is reported to be much less memory-intensive than other extensions with similar functionality. uBlock Origin's stated purpose is to give users the means to enforce their own (content-filtering) choices. uBlock Origin is actively developed and maintained by its creator and lead developer Raymond Hill and the open source community. uBlock Origin was deprecated on Chrome due to technical restraints, and a forked version called uBlock Origin Lite is available instead. As of October 2026, the Firefox version of uBlock Origin has over 11.3 million active users, making it the most popular extension on Firefox. The Chromium version of uBlock Origin Lite has 21 million active users.
ClearPlay is a parental control service that allows content filtering of streaming movies available on Disney+, Amazon Prime, HBOMax, Apple TV+ and Netflix. It automatically skips over or mutes undesirable content such as profanity, graphic violence, nudity, drug and adult-oriented content based on a customer's filter settings.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
