I got caught up studying the list of categories of web sites to be filtered, the image from a filtering application half way through this article. The usual categories are there, of course, and even some odd options like 'search engines' and 'sports and leisure' (many applications also filter 'personal sites' but I didn't see that here). But what is telling is what it doesn't filter for. What about 'pro-war sites'? I think thy should be filtered. And so should 'fast food sites' because they expose children to unhealthy advertising. Sometimes I think people obscure the real dangers to children by focusing on the trivial.
