Testing tools for filtering and parental control
Safer Internet Day! We offically presented the results of the filtering study performed in till December 2006 (www.sip-bench.eu).
We found that the tools are really needed considering some of the awful things that are on the Internet these days, that indeed cross the border of human decency. And whilst a tool may not be the golden bullet yet, it is definitely an important complement to the guidance by parents and other educators.
Today we also start the campaign to again find 100 to 200 testers who want to test one of the 30 Internet content filtering tools, across European borders. ...
People who want to test 1, 2 or 3 tools for free, and provide online feedback on how easy or difficult it is to install and configure the tools. Last year the study was a huge success and the results are on the website www.sip-bench.eu.
Let's hope that also this year many parents and teachers find their way to the website and test-drive the tools.
Johan.
