It was only fitting that as a directory that has its focus on providing safe content we reviewed a site that is trying hard to work on devising methods to filter undesirable content so that the child and family alike can ensure that they surf safely with the knowledge that they aren’t going to stumble across undesirable material that seems to litter the Internet at every turn. They’ve done this by creating what they’ve labeled Accountability Software which effectively monitors a person’s Internet use and emails a report of all websites visited for Accountability Partners to view.
What impressed us with this site and the service it provides is that its creating a community and takes a wide spectrum of internet concerns into account. The site not only concerns itself with the child safe side of the Internet but also pays attention to the much underplayed concerns of the adult who fall victim to the temptation of internet porn which we all know is far too freely available.
