Australian Govt. releases a free Net Filter for blocking Porn

18 August 2007 No Comment

From August 20, 2007 (Tomorrow) Australians can download a NET FILTER tool that blocks unsafe, porn websites from your children’s reach. If you want to provide a safe, clean browsing experience to your kids, this is an ideal tool.

"NetAlert is Australia’s Internet Safety Advisory Body, a one-stop-shop for Internet safety advice, information and resources in Australia. NetAlert’s primary objective is to promote a safer Internet experience, particularly for young people and their families and was established by the Australian Government in December 1999."

NetAlert has come up with a powerful filter that is updated regularly by its staff who blocks unsafe web content that are not suitable for children.

"Parents will be able to choose either to install filtering software on their home PCs or to request a "clean" connection from their service provider, which will be responsible for blocking pornographic content at the ISP level.

The government will post a list of approved filtering software providers on its Web site and mandate that all sanctioned vendors update their products as the threat landscape changes." – from CNET Australia
