March 16, 2007, Newsletter Issue #200: Internet Filters
Tip of the Week
Some Internet filters deny access to sites using certain keywords, but some products allow parents to review and change keywords to create their own customized list. The drawback to keyword blocking is that the technology canīt discriminate between genuinely unsuitable sites and innocent ones. Software programmed to avoid the keyword "smoking" for example, could also filter out educational anti-smoking sites, and even sites devoted to geology ("smoking volcanoes") or magic ("smoke and mirrors").
