Service Providers that screen pornography
Focus on the Family says that you should examine potential filtered services by looking for a few specific things (From "Suggestions We Give Families Who Are Choosing a Server-Based Filter" by Steve Watters for Citizen Link webzine located at www.family.org.
- Examine the price. Many ISPs provide server filtering as a value-added service and therefore offer it for free, or at least at a very affordable price.
- Test the speed. ISPs that filter their service through a proxy may run a little slower, but some companies have worked to speed up the process.
- Examine the filtering focus. Each company has a philosophy for filtering. Some have tight filters and others have loose filters. Some companies are even reluctant to share their filtering philosophy.
- Find out if the serivce is customizable. Some companies will take a "one size fits all" approach and give the same filtered service to all of their customers. You may want to be able to block more than the company blocks or may want to override some of the sites that are blocked by mistake. Ask if your service can be customized.
- Find out if the service blocks or monitors additional features such as e-mail, chat rooms, or newsgroups. Some server-based filters only monitor the Web and overlook other dangerous areas of the Internet.
- Find out if you can report additional bad sites. Many filtered services "deputize" their customers and encourage them to report questionable sites in order to build their list of blocked sites.
With this information in mind, here's a list of ISPs that provide screening:
- Agape Information Systems
- BSafeOnline
- Catholic Families.Net
- CharacterLink
- Christian Living Network
- CleanSurf
- CleanWeb
- Covenant Promotions
