<span><div>Hi,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>We’re currently developing a public internet access solution for a public space, and one of the things we’re considering is content filtering as part of the solution.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Obviously the usual caveats apply around success, ability to circumvent, etc, but given all of these caveats, what are people’s general opinion on:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>- is it a good idea to do this in a public space (think children, families, etc all around)</div>
<div>- what sort of filtering have you implemented in the past? We are looking at a solution that would do simple category filtering at the moment, with the option to blacklist and whitelist particular URLs</div>
<div>- what sort of categories would you generally block?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I’m personally of the opinion that it’s a “good idea” in this context although not fool proof.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
