Filtering for the sake of protecting children is not a bad idea at all. The internet is a part of our lives now and we use multiple devices to access it. The question is how to filter effectively.
My kids are at that age where they’re using the web. I’ve spoken to both of them to explain the do’s and don’t’s. I’ve removed the search bar in their browsers and setup KidsSafeSearch etc. I also use OpenDNS to filter out specific sites. At what point should they get unfiltered access? 18? Am i a control freak to take the steps i have taken?
Should filtering not be considered?
At least you can opt out of the Cameron Firewall. Although i do understand the impact this will have on services and businesses.
So again the question, should filtering be considered and can it be done effectively?
