Blacklists

A blacklist is a list of individuals, organizations, or entities that are deemed undesirable or untrustworthy. Being on a blacklist can lead to various consequences, such as being denied services, employment, or access to certain privileges. Blacklists are often used in contexts like cybersecurity to block harmful actors, in finance to prevent fraud, or even in social settings to exclude people. The concept relies on the idea of protecting a community or system from perceived threats or risks associated with those on the list.
