My feeling is that most of the people talking here do not have children yet. As a father, I would be really pleased to have such header accepted by many providers to just filter out content which is clearly not for kids.
A small example, I am French living abroad, if I want my kids to read a bit the news, I cannot send them on one of the 3 "major" French newspaper to read a bit. Why? Because at the bottom of the first page, they put a lot of sexual content like fully naked women wresting. If this header could remove such content, together with videos where people are beheaded. I would be pleased. Really.
If you start to think that this is censoring content, it is not, it is journalist work, that is, providing adapted content to the visitor.
- paublyrne 12y agoI would imagine the newspaper you refer to is not regarded as a serious newspaper, but I am not too familiar with the French publications. Surely there are other ones you could trust them to browse. Which one were you referring to again?
- darklajid 12y agoHow can the sites tell that this content isn't okay? I posted an example elsewhere in this thread: I might want to limit a 16yo with parental controls to avoid having them use the computer the whole night, but I wouldn't mind them seeing (naked) girls on a yellow press site, if that's what they stumble upon. I'm also reasonably sure that your particular problem could already be solved on the client site, today, and that would even make sure that your personal take on moral values is respected. Plus, as others have stated, 'parental' controls might be used for a "kiosk mode" in a hotel or elsewhere (for .. whatever reason). Would you really want these scenarios to result in the same thing ("Content filtered on a news site"), both for your personal kids and for random mature people elsewhere?
