Sure. Right after you admit your imprecision in communication and the resulting confusion from said imprecision.

Isn’t blocking websites or which websites to block up to the company that hires the IT?

Ask then to whitelist “FreeRepublic.com” and anything else you desire.

Contentious and Misinformation Social Networking Terrorism and Hate

Most of these are reasonable categories to block until you get to this "Contentious and Misinformation Social Networking, Terrorism, and Hate"

Find out what sites are blocked.

Is FR blocked while DU is not? Twitter, Truth Social blocked while Reddit or Mastadon is not?

I think the best approach is to tell them that you, as as a client, have problems with their block list and it is causing friction and forcing you to reevaluate your business relationship with them.

Take it from there.

To: Tell It Right
Have you asked your IT service provider about this blocking feature? Is it configurable?

Twenty-three posts before a sensible solution was offered!

It would seem likely that there is some kind of "white list" capability. (Or whatever woke thing they are calling it now.)
