Hi JewishHocker.

This is a two-fold problem, I guess.

For the first part, I saw an interesting concept being used in Lakewood. It’s like a buddy system. You buddy up with someone who will get a report of all the sites visited, and vice versa. Knowing your “buddy” will know the sites surfed, will help prevent accidently looking into things out of curiosity, etc.

The second part of the problem is searching for something innocent, and then the search engine brings you to a site that is no good at all. Those kinds of filters are not perfect. Even something like Youtube where you want to look up the performance of a Jewish singer, anyone can type in the comments, and you can find foul language in the comments of even cartoony things that the kids like to go to.

Because of such things like this, in truth, those giving extreme warnings about internet, are correct. The way I see it, and correct me if I am wrong, a person never using the internet IS cleaner than if that same person used the internet even with the best of care.
