Three-Tiered
Filtering System
Site Database- Using a large database of
Web sites containing Adult Material, sites are discovered with
SmartSearch+ ™ an advanced self-learning web searching system,
and then automatically transmitted to each of the server sites
during the early morning hours.
Rating Codes- Several Internet standards
are emerging for voluntarily rating inappropriate content on the
Internet. Our filtering system supports all major content coding
mechanisms, automatically blocking documents whose authors believe
that they contain adult content.
Stop Words- Our filtering system scans
and blocks documents and search requests containing words and
phrases which research by Newspaper Internet Services has shown
indicate the presence of sexually explicit or otherwise
inappropriate material.
Internet sites with content that is not
appropriate for all audiences fluctuate daily. As a result, it is
not possible for any filtering software to provide 100% coverage
at all times. Our filtering system constantly patrols the Internet
for new problem sites and quickly corrects any errors or omissions
reported.
We feel we have one of the safest methods of
protecting families from pornography today. Because the Internet
is changing daily, we cannot guarantee a 100% porn-free
atmosphere. The danger of finding an offensive site is greatly
reduced, however Bauer Communications recommends that children be
supervised when surfing the net.
