Internet filters and Parental Control Software

Internet Filters


          Internet filters are software tools that help monitor web content viewed on a particular computer or network.  Internet filters can be used for family safety settings which helps parents manage how kids use the internet in terms of communicating.  School administrators can also use internet filters to protect kids for viewing inappropriate content.  You can block websites according to the content type and prevent unwanted sexual content from showing up on search results.


Parental Control Software


          Parental control software, like internet filters, are uses to limit access to the internet.  It does not necessarily have to do with only internet, some Cable TV providers provide parents the option to limit what channels their children are watching.  Besides TV and Internet, cell phone companies allow parents to add restrictions to phone usage as well.  Parents might want to limit access to graphic websites, dangerous contacts, sharing too much information, as well as cyber bullying.
