There's Windows parental controls, OpenDNS, Chrome and Firefox extensions, and programs that can do all of that. You don't have to have a government mandated filter to protect your children.
- mod 12y agoAssuming they're equally effective, your solutions all sound like more work. Especially if you're talking about some combination of the above. If I actually wanted a solution, I'd probably go ahead with the government one, given your alternative.
- tacticus 12y agoSo if you actually want a solution what is wrong with making it an opt in when you sign up for the service or through the admin page for your service. rather than making it opt out with mandatory bits.
- mod 12y agoWell I absolutely think it should be opt-in, I'm not sure I said otherwise. But if the "opt-in" is "install and configure all this software" vs "tick this box," I'd rather tick the box.
- spiritplumber 12y agoPorn filters will never work. There is nothing more ingenious than a horny teenager with a computer. This may be a throwaway joke, but... well, it's true.
- secfirstmd 12y agoHahaha, would be funny if they use this knowledge for good and make the only way to get round filters to be learning Python, Linux or some other programming language... :)
