My understanding is that it blocks whatever it identifies as pornography.

It’s like the sickest thing ever. And the internet is WAY fast. It only takes me a few seconds to download the WORST videos and photos imaginable. </I><BR/><BR/>The thing that I find both amusing and tragic is that the people who put this sort of statement online really have no clue as to what's out there. By "the most disgusting stuff in the world" and "the WORST videos and photos imaginable", they probably mean pictures of women in bikinis. They couldn't even conceptualize the pornography that's out there.<BR/><BR/>Of course, there's always parental control software (do they have it for iPods?) - but, as Moshe said, then if the kids go otd, they'll have to blame themselves.Jeff Eygeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11967707883565162538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-74944628522777131272009-01-16T11:05:00.000-05:002009-01-16T11:05:00.000-05:00great post. i agree with moshe. if these people ha...great post. i agree with moshe. if these people had no one or nothing to demonize they'd have to look into themselves and realize they are the reason their children or students are goin off the derech.frum single femalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01592899863773572708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-15782891483036349332009-01-16T01:06:00.000-05:002009-01-16T01:06:00.000-05:00If they wouldn't demonize technology, then who wou...If they wouldn't demonize technology, then who would they have to blame for kids going off the derech.
