Zapping Porn Review Our test found that some Internet filters work better than others.
By John Brandon Blocking porn from your computer is no easy task. A $12 billion industry, porn is everywhere on the Internet. According to comScore Media Matrix, as many as 65 million men have viewed porn online. Internet filters help weed out this content. But after testing the five most popular blockers, we found that some software tools work better than others. To find out which filter works best, we picked several popular sites that distribute or link to pornography. We figured that most filters would block obvious porn sites. But we knew that porn could slip through the cracks of all the blockers except the most powerful filters. Then we used under covermags.com as the test site for a new porn portal. We didn't test the filters in a closed room, and we tested them with an accountability partner. We immediately clicked away from the test sites as soon as we noted whether the filter worked or not. We showed the test results to each Internet filter company so they could explain our findings or correct the problems we found. BSafe Online Of all the filters we tested, BSafe Online, bsafehome.com, worked the best, filtering all but one of the test sites. It failed to block that site correctly, even though the magazine site has adult content. The reason it worked so well is because of how BSafe uses a multipronged approach to filtering, using keywords, URL blocks, customer suggestions and what the company calls a "secret sauce" to make sure you and your kids never see an erotic image. There's also a reporting function that requires a password to disengage. BSafe, which costs $50, also blocks P2P, instant messaging, FTP and other methods of downloading porn |
