Kidsnet enables you to create a safe Internet environment. With Kidsnet your children cannot access a Web site unless Kidsnet has been there first and rated its content and context. Kidsnet is a parental control system exclusively based on human reviews. Kidsnet's content specialists have examined Web sites that represent more than 98% of the World Wide Web traffic (Neilson/Net Ratings). If your child attempts to access a Web site Kidsnet's reviewers have not already visited and reviewed, it is added to the queue for review. Additionally, parents have the ability to 'override' ratings in the Kidsnet master database, and to add or disallow access to Web sites using the Kidsnet Website Manager.
Kidsnet reviews the Internet from several angles. Part of this includes sex and nudity, both level and context (artistic, educational, medical). Violence is also rated based on level, to whom the violence is directed (humans, animals, fantasy characters) and context (artistic, educational, medical, sports). In addition to the level of Sex and Nudity, Language and Violence, Kidsnet's content specialists classify Web sites, sections of Web sites and specific Web pages into 23 restrictive categories that can be disallowed (from Category 1, Alcohol/Tobacco - Advocacy or Promotion to Category 23, Weapon promotion or sale). You may set up individual accounts for up to 6 of your children. Your children's Internet access is allowed only by means of a password you assign to each child.
