1
Tip of the Week
Client Tip: Content filtering is the ability to block websites that you feel may contain offensive material such as images of sex, violence or strong language or hate speech. There is no effective filtering on the Internet itself, so people have to use content filtering software to mange this themselves. Internet Browsers have built-in functionality that allows you to set some restriction on what kind of content can be viewed, however this is not a fail-safe solution, only a little bit of help.
If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer, you can use its Content Advisor to restrict access to websites that are:
A) on a list of acceptable sites that you create or
B) have rated themselves using a rating standard and which meet content criteria that are set by the user.
To switch on Content Advisor, open Internet Explorer, select Tools, then Internet Options, click on the Content tab and then click on Enable.
Some Internet Service Providers have content filtering options. Check with your provider. It is always good to have a backup solution to your Content Filtering package.
