Protecting Children from Internet Pornography
As a father, I'm always concerned about my children stumbling across some of the obscene content on the internet. As my kids become older and more sophisticated in using the internet and search engines, this reality becomes more and more likely. Recently I searched Google images with "moderate SafeSearch On" and saw a few completely inappropriate images for people of any age (including "adults"). So what's the answer to protecting your kids?
I actually found a program that is working pretty well: See No Evil Online. So I thought I would share. I did signup to support them:
So far so good: the software is now blocking objectionable content. And I haven't seen any problems or issues with it to date. You can put it on three computers, which is great for our family. So if you need some good internet filtering software for your children, take a look.
By the way, one interesting side note to this software (and a testament to where our culture is at the moment) is that you can use it to help if you have personal problems with online pornography. Simply signup a friend who has the password on your computer, and the friend can help you to say "no" when you are most tempted. It's really a great resource for anyone struggling to control their addiction to pornography.
God bless,
Jay

Filtering is a great tool, but it's not the only kind of software out there. Have you ever heard of accountability software? Accountability software is specifically for adults who want to guard where they go online without any blocking or filtering. Combined with filtering, it's a great Internet safety solution for the whole family. If you want more info about it check out my post “Is Filtering All There Is?” - http://www.covenanteyes.com/blog/2008/06/12/is-filtering-all-there-is-introducing-accountability-software/
