HOW TO PROTECT FROM INAPPROPRIATE INTERNET CONTENT

Controlling access to inappropriate Internet content

With home computers, the greatest danger naturally lies where young children could have completely uncontrolled access to the Internet. In this case, manual content filtering can be the solution using the features included in the browser itself or, better still, some kind of application offering parental control functions.

In the case of companies, particularly medium to large companies, manual control is virtually impossible. In this case, there are proxy servers that can restrict access for certain users, although they cannot actually filter content. It is therefore advisable, given the large number of users of the network, to have a machine dedicated exclusively to this task.

In addition, bearing in mind that there are web pages designed to foil some existing content filters, it is a good idea to ensure that the tool you are using can filter both textual and graphic content.
