Because their web filter and firewall doesn't block school-related items. Only certain third-party protocols are blocked via keywords/actions.

I have complained about the forced throttling on their reddit before, but to no avail.

I technically can't complain about the web filter/firewall, because it opens me up to targeted piracy (since their web filter blocks copyright infringement, arguing it only makes me look like a criminal and allows me to be questioned about it).

Legally speaking, they have every right to block third-party protocols based on legal terms (copyright infringement, mainly). It's like our IP-bans: if they hit something else by accident, there isn't much I can do against it since they are doing this legally within bounds.

Also, since they are using blanket software, adding exceptions for a site like wikia and ALL it's sub-counterparts is VERY difficult.
