Internet Filters and Parental Control Software

Internet filters and parental control  software:

          Content control software is software specifically designed to allow (or not allow) users to access certain pages depending on their designated "privileges." The administrator, or manager of the software, can choose what websites and other data certain parties can access. This can include websites, photographs/files/ games, etc. 

           Content control can be on a local/personal level, such as parental control software that enables parents to restrict inappropriate websites from their children. Or, content control can go as far as national web censorship, where entire countries are restricted in what computer activities they can access while using a network monitored by the government.
