Blocking/ Filtering
Software
Several software programs exist that aid parents in
controlling the Internet content available to their
children. Most of these programs, listed below, perform
one or more of the following functions: block access to
adult sites, rate sites based on adult content
(pornography, violence/ profanity, intolerance, militant
extremists, gambling, drug culture, etc.), establish time
controls for individual users (for example, blocking
usage after a particular time at night, or during
established homework times) and log surfing activities
(allowing parents to see which sites a child has
visited).
