Nice opinion Shankar dai, I consider internet as source of information like any media or magazines. Filtering and restrictions has plagued other countries in past leading to a BIGGER consequence, like filtering other online contents as well. It has also sever privacy concerns.
Related: http://opennet.net/ Manual parental monitoring of kids is better. - Encourage kids to talk about their online activity with parents. - Encourage parents to keep track of what their kids do and view online. - Encourage parents to put computer/ internet in guest room in the home preferably the TV room. Strategical approach is far better than the technological approach. Slapping a quick technological solution and closing your eye from the social/psychological effects is not a solution. The idea of "you are being watched" is noway a pleasant experience but you dont really get it until you experience it. Parents will eventually build the temptation of "need to know" everything about their kids using more sophisticated software's which is definitely not a pleasant experience. I suggest you to stay out of software's. I say it because i really know is use, potential and aftermaths. Alternately, the only best technological solution to this problem is from the ISP level. ISP's could offer anonymous proxies that could do content filtering if a cyber / home user voluntarily wishes to use the proxy for content-filtering. AND If any such crazy idea about monitoring software exists in Nepalese reality, I will make sure there is a point and click mechanism to get around any sort of monitoring/restriction if the user dont wish to be MONITORED. all the best with your project, -bipin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ FOSS Nepal mailing list: [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/foss-nepal To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] Community website: http://www.fossnepal.org/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
