Internet Filters






Internet filters can also be known as, content control software, censorware, or web filtering software. Internet filters are used to limit and control what information is available to a reader over the web. The types of restrictions can be applied on many levels in society. The government, an ISP, an employer, a school, a library, or even a person to their own computer can use filters to limit information from being viewed.



There are many different forms and ways that filters can come in. Filters can come in the form of a software program on a personal computer or even by servers providing internet access. Most of this type of software is marketed to organizations or parents. An internet service provider that blocks objectionable content can really help parents monitor what their children are viewing on the internet. One popular internet filter is called Net Nanny.
