| | Protect Yourself with a Porn FilterWritten by Nick Smith
Continued from page 1
Use a search engine to find websites. Pornographers use domain names that are similar to popular websites or brands in hopes that people will type in address incorrectly and end up at their pornography site. I knew a child that wanted to look up codes for his favorite video game, so he typed in name of game and ".com." He had presence of mind to close browser and tell his parents, but was still exposed to material. One of best ways to avoid this is searching for address in Google. Then you can preview results in a text-only format before clicking on link to go to page. Many of popular search engines have a built-in porn filter that you can adjust to control type of content you don't want to appear in search results. Others even offer "for kids" versions of their search engines that only return pages deemed appropriate for children. Use filtering software that includes a porn filter. No matter how careful you are about sites you visit, chances are good that someday you will accidentally come across a porn site. A porn filter will help ensure that inappropriate material is blocked when you or someone in your family stumbles across a pornographic website. The parents of boy who stumbled across pornography while looking for his favorite Nintendo game quickly installed a porn filter to make sure their son was protected in future. Avoid pornography offline. Porn was around long before internet. Carry around your own internal porn filter and avoid places that you know will have inappropriate images, movies, or books displayed. If your children are with you, be extra cautious of where they are in store. If you think there is a chance that they may be able to access inappropriate material while you are shopping, let store manager know of your concerns. Likely, you are not only one who is worried about issue, and real changes can come about from one person simply speaking up. Take appropriate precautions now to avoid pornography. If you or someone you know has a problem with pornography use or addiction, seek professional help. Pornography problems not only affect individual viewing picture but everyone who interacts with that person.
