    If we’re going here…

    Whitelist isn’t the preferred nomenclature. Use terms like allow-list or permit-list.

        Usually a deny-list or a block-list.

        These are the inclusive terms that are getting adopted in IT, at least, and they usually work in that context. Maybe not for everything.

            At my company, white hat hackers are to be called “offensive security researchers”. Black hat hackers are to be called “attackers”.
