List of inappropriate, illegal, scam, and plausible, websites and words

I (OrdinaryJellyfish) hadn't been able to find a useful open filter anywhere that holds websites and words that are inappropriate for use in most places, so I decided to build my own list out of websites I've seen that I know are bad, and some words too.

These lists are free to use with no credit required. Feel free to open a PR adding anything you think may be missing, or if you find a website or word that's not actually inappropriate, you can open a PR to remove that too.

Adding to the list

To add a word to the list, simply create a file inside the words called the name of the word (for example, words/foo for the word foo). You can also add phrases, to do so just replace the spaces with underscores.

If you are adding a website, add a file with the full domain name inside the websites folder and mark it as one of the these categories by putting the category name inside the file as JSON with the key category. You'll also need to add an optional but recommended explanation of the site with the key description (if you find a site with no description, feel free to add one).
Afterwards, you can open a PR to add it and I will review and merge.

Using the list

Before you use the list, you'll want to build the JSON files:

node build.js

This will result in two files inside dist/ (words.json, websites.json). Inside each JSON file is an array containing all entries. You can then scan each entry for inappropriate content, and filter as appropriate.
There is also an API if you'd like to use that. Websites will be categorized like this:

[
  {
    "domain": "example.com",
    "category": "plausible",
    "explanation": "Example is an example domain. Blah blah blah..."
  }
]

Words will be sorted in an array as strings.
