WHAT IS INTERNET OR CONTENT FILTERING
Internet content filtering
technology allows you to ban access to certain types or
categories of
websites. It is normally used in the home or in a public access venue like an Internet Cafe,
School or Library. It blocks access to a whole range of web
sites that you deem to be unacceptable or offensive. In addition to the
standard categories, you can also add your own, including
web sites of your competitors.
There is no software to install on any client
machines. Whotspot manages the whole process for you. Anyone
connecting at your Hotspot can only surf the locations you
allow.
The filter engine is monitored 24 x 7. New web sites are
added daily. All surfing at your location passing through
the Whotspot Gateway is monitored in real-time and any
unauthorized accesses are block!
Should you find a site offensive, 1 phone call or email
is all it takes to have us add it to your blocked list.

There are essentially no censors on the Internet. Anyone
in the world — companies, governments, organizations, and
individuals — can publish material on the Internet. A
service provider links you to these sites, but it can’t
control what is on them. It’s up to individuals to make sure
that they behave in a way that’s safe and appropriate. Using
a good content filter is a start! To learn more and for

Disclaimer:
Whotspot provides content filtering only as a managed
service to assist customers in preventing the display of
offensive material on computer screens, on a best effort
basis. We do not categorize or select the sites or material
to be blocked. We use the service of a third-party vendor to
monitor and categorize web sites on a daily basis. We make
every effort to filter sites to remove pornographic content
and hate-related content ("offensive content") from your
search results - as you, the customer, have requested. The
filter may screen keywords and content in web sites and may
remove any identified offensive content from your search
results or display. The filter may not be 100% accurate or
error-free and Whotspot or its vendors will not be
responsible for any offensive content in your search or
display results.
