Webfilter Links Abortion With Drugs, Blocks Informational Sites

Webfilter won't block sex.com, but will make sure your kids don't get information about abortions.

A new parental control webfilter for google chrome has an unusual problem.  It doesn’t seem to block really obvious sex sites, but is determined to ensure your child doesn’t get exposed to abortion information.

Via PC World:

WebFilter is customizable, so that you can decide which types of sites to block. For example, block sites related to pornography, but allow social-networking sites and sites that suck up bandwidth.

Even there, though, there are some problems with the program. Inexplicably, one category lumps abused drugs and marijuana in with abortion. What drugs have to do with abortion isn’t at all clear, and some parents may well want their children to know about abortion, even if they don’t want them visiting sites related to drugs.

Of course, there is another answer — have talks with your children about what is and isn’t appropriate web browsing, and believe that you can just trust your child with a little guidance.
