A Black List is a list of people, places, or objects that are deemed untrustworthy and should be avoided. Typically a blacklist is created by some governing body or authority in hopes of excluding or avoiding certain things that fall outside of their framework.
Black Lists can be composed for purposes such as:
– Criminal activity (drug dealing or tax evasion)
– Regulatory Sanctions (trade between nations)
– Dangerous outcomes (Firearms that are fully automatic)
– Aggravation spam (email marketing)
