You use filtering technology on your children but don't want to teach others, not so technically inclined, how they can protect their children as you are protecting yours.


That sounds like the government to me—it doesn't make sense and you are limiting how others, not so technically inclined, raise their children. Freedom of information is what you preach, but you then limit what information you will provide because you don't how some MIGHT use that information you provide (even though you use the software yourself).


Would it be better if you wrote a book that would tell people the options of parental control software that did NOT log their children's Internet use?


How about provide information (which you say you want your children to have access to) on parental control software rather than worry about how other people raise their children--one you can control, the other you can not.


Think of it this way. You are going to teach non-technically management how their schools, libraries, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) can provide for all their charges (children) and help them access as MUCH information as they can while limiting their searches to exclude the information they (the institutions) are required, by law, to exclude.


Sound better?
