How do parental filters work? Is there a list of all adult content sites? Does someone manually add them, or is it automated?
In: Technology
Combination of human and automation. There are lists that get published that can be automatically added to filters. There are certain words in text and/or URLs that get blocked automatically, like sex, porn, etc.
As an aside, these automated filters caused major issues for my dad’s former company when implemented on the company’s computer network — they were a meat producer, and parts of their business involved dealing in chicken meat parts, but the system flagged terms like breasts and thighs which were necessary words to be able to use in the context of chicken.
