# Content safety and index controls

> Default content filtering categories, quality scoring, ethical crawling, and enterprise index configuration options.

This page describes how Linkup filters unsafe content and evaluates source quality during indexing and retrieval.

## Default excluded and restricted categories

High-risk categories are excluded or blocked by default, including:

* Malware
* Phishing
* Spyware
* DNS tunneling
* Potentially unwanted software
* Child abuse

Questionable content categories are also restricted. Examples include:

* Hacking-related content
* Drug-related content
* Unreliable information patterns
* Profanity-heavy pages
* Adult-themed content

## Quality scoring

Linkup applies a quality scoring model to evaluate candidate pages during indexing and retrieval. Higher-quality sources are prioritized; low-trust content is de-prioritized.

## Crawling safeguards

* AI-powered filtering blocks malware, phishing, and other malicious sources before indexing or serving
* Ranking and curation controls reduce exposure to sensitive or prohibited content
* High-risk sites can be blocked through filtering and DNS security controls
* Domain exclusions can be applied via the `excludeDomains` API parameter
* Crawling respects `robots.txt` and does not circumvent CAPTCHAs or access controls
* Only publicly available content is indexed; content behind authentication, paywalls, or registration is not accessed

## Enterprise index controls

Under enterprise agreements, additional controls can be configured, including:

* Blocking of specific domains
* Blocking of additional content categories
* Fastlane inclusion of approved sources not yet present in the index
* Custom refresh rates for selected sources
* Customer-specific ranking bias (for example, geographic relevance)
