Get the Allowlist mug.An allowlist is a directory of specific elements that are allowed, e.g. email addresses, IP addresses or URLs etc.
An allowlist has the same meaning as a whitelist in computer and tech industry.

Allowlist like block list are much more intuitive and descriptive than whitelist and blacklist and don't have subliminal racist associations- blacklist = block and whitelist = allow.
