Content Filtering Methods for Internet Pornography

Abstract

The Internet is widely recognized as an important information and communication medium. It has also become a useful tool for children’s education, but since the Internet is an open environment, it contains much information unsuitable for the under aged. This article introduces several content-filtering methods that can assist parents and educators in protecting children from harmful material. However, it must be noted that these are of limited value unless they are supported by sex education and parental monitoring of children’s Internet use.
