Summary

At Replit, we have created a general purpose computing environment that anyone can use to run whatever programs they want, and access whatever services they want. We are blocking all internet access to adult content and malware starting this week, by enabling the use of Cloudflare's family-friendly DNS resolver by default in all user repls. This means schools using Replit are now compliant with legal requirements to filter internet content, and users can't bypass school or parental filters using Replit as a proxy. We want to empower the next generation of programmers while ensuring our service is safe and secure for everyone involved.
