The main worry of many is how to filter what is acceptable in cyberspace. This email is intended to help those who want to filter category of sites that are not suitable for your little girl/boy.
There are many sites that are operated with the intention of making the web a safe place for little ones. Categories can be created by parents just by using the commonly used filters. However, categories are easily broken if you forget or are not using the commonly used tools. If you are not sure whether a site is suitable, but you know that it is not a place for your little one then the choice is simple. You can either determine it by yourself or have a trusted adult determine it for you.
Using the commonly used filters will quickly let you create a list of the sites that are ok for your little one to access. The problem is that it is very easy to forget to block an entire category. However having a trusted adult around will make the decision for you.
Remember, it is not just about what is in the past that is concerning your child. Today, as much as yesterday, it is about what is in the future and what lies ahead.
As we spend more and more time online, the choices of sites we visit increase and sometimes, we fail to understand what is right and what is wrong with visiting such sites. It could be innocent but it may also be involving websites that could damage our child’s psyche. We must know the risks involved when we visit such sites for our children.
It is not just a case of avoiding a scammers site or some dangerous porn site, but we need to know the potential dangers that lie ahead when we decide to spend time online. The key to remember is that the potential dangers will not simply be present when we decide to spend time online, but will become more prominent and actually put our child at risk.
It is not uncommon for innocent sites to turn out to be dangerous when we least expect it. It happens that a website may seem harmless when we first visit it but it is nothing that we later on realize. We must at least once read the site description and the privacy policy of the site in which we are visiting.
Having the right protection through an online filter is a must and we must be aware that no matter how innocent the site appears, it may still carry a few surprises for us once we dig deeper.
Trust seals and website verification services have become a lot more than just pretty and provide a great way to describe a company. They can also authenticate websites by verifying that they use the latest encryption and appropriate personal information protection when you are downloading and installing software and other forms of media.
In a world where everyone is seeking a way to make money, few companies can afford to skimp on this issue. With a seal on their website, they can proudly display their legal okay as a way to generate trust and confidence from consumers. This allows them to overcome consumers’ concerns about spending their hard earned money for fear of invading their privacy.
The trust seal is another way for an online company to endorse a specific company which in turn commissions them to market their services and products to customers. However, the research is that consumers actually view this as a drawback rather than a positive advantage. They view it as a sign of a company that is trying tozai why?.
