Reply To: Advertisements for a Web Filtering Service

@live right – I probably look like a velociraptor. JK! And you’re probably right, it can happen any way.

Btw, just a FYI for everyone, (hey, that’s two abbreviations!) I don’t intend to start a debate, I’m just wondering if anyone has any ideas regarding alternative ways for this company to convey this powerful message. I can’t speak for everyone else, but this one wasn’t effective for me. I apologize if anything I said came out overly antagonistic – I was fasting at the time.

It’s true, any exposure to inappropriate stuff is unfortunately very damaging. What I’d really like to see filtered out are the stuff that come up by accident, like annoying (and sometimes inappropriate) popup ads on completely innocent websites. I use an ad blocker because I don’t like being annoyed in general.

And to put out a suggestion to all web filtering services, frum and frei alike, does anyone have a solution to hiding YouTube’s related videos? About 85% of the time, YouTube blocks out the really schmutzdik stuff, but you know how people can spend hours watching cat videos? Even tame things (like cat videos) can be addicting in an innocent but time-consuming way. Y’know?
