Content Filtering

With all kind of content Internet delivers, it become more and more important for companies using Internet, to take care what content is being accessed from its computers. Content filtering software has the role of preventing employees from viewing content which the computer's owner or other authorities may consider objectionable. Content filtering software determines what content will be available on a particular machine or network by blocking access to resources based on their content.

Why Content Filtering?

Such software is required because of the great number of inappropriate websites which do (or are alleged to do) the following:

  • Include content which is illegal in the jurisdiction where the computer lies.
  • Promote, enable, or discuss hacking, software piracy, criminal skills, or other acts which are illegal in many jurisdictions.
  • Include content which is sexually explicit in nature, including pornography, erotica, and non-erotic discussions of sexual topics such as sexuality or human reproduction.
  • Promote, enable, or discuss lifestyles which some might consider immoral, including promiscuity, sexual orientations other than heterosexuality, or other alternative lifestyles or sexual activity outside of marriage.
  • Contain violence or other forms of graphic or "extreme" content.
  • Promote, enable, or discuss bigotry or hate speech.
  • Promote, enable, or discuss gambling, recreational drug use, alcohol, or other activities frequently considered to be vice.
  • Are not related to a student's studies, an employee's job function, or other tasks for which the computer in question may be intended.
  • Are contrary to the interests of the authority in question, such as websites promoting organized labor or criticizing a particular company or industry.
  • Promote or discuss politics, religion, or other topics.
  • Waste employees time with non-work related issues - social networking websites.
