It was Local Billing. They sent us an email asking us to please make changes ASAP to stop our sites from being shut down processing-wise. So we made the foolish changes. And yeah, you're right about mainstream sites too.

This reminds me of that stupid software that they tried to put on libraries and schools that looked for certain words and ended up blocking 90% of the internet.

Anyway, we made the changes within minutes of getting that email. But from the tone of the email...it sounded like we could have been shut down very quickly if we had not complied.
