It is
PeopleNet's vision to provide children with a safe Internet
environment to explore and learn, absent of "inappropriate" adult
contents such as violence, pornography, hate speeches, and
profanity. Consequently, we developed ChiBrow, a safe Web
browser for children. It enables children to Safely
explore the Web while giving parents and educators the ability to
define where their children can venture.
ChiBrow is a browser, not a filtering
software. Consequently, ChiBrow circumvents many of the issues
filtering technologies have difficulties addressing: 1) alcohol and
tobacco marketing; 2) unsafe privacy practices; 3) "inappropriate"
adult images and sounds; and 4) sophisticated use of language in
which the words themselves are harmless, but the content is
not.
ChiBrow avoids these problems and
simplifies security management by giving parents complete
control. Parents define what is appropriate for their children
by determining what Web sites they can access. They can create
or build on an existing list of safe Web sites (Safe-Sites
List), restrict access to a Safe-Sites Search Engine containing
10,000+ safe Web sites, and/or open access to sites based on domains
realms (.edu, .gov and .org). Because parents have
complete control over the browser, and hence the content that is
displayed, they can be certain that sites they allow their children
to visit meet their safety standards.
Children browse the Web by selecting a
site from ChiBrow's Safe-Sites List, by clicking on links within an
approved site, or through the Safe-Sites Search Engine (when
allowed). Sites in either the Safe-Sites List or Search Engine
have been screened to meet our safety
criteria.
Each link a child visit is checked
against the list approved sites (Safe-Sites List), Search Engine,
and/or domain realms before it is opened. If the site belongs
to the same domain and/or is located within a domain/site in the
Safe-Sites List or security options, ChiBrow displays the Web
page. If it isn't, ChiBrow ignores the click and sends an
alert at the bottom of the screen. In order for him to visit
that site, the child must have permission from the parent.
Because parental approval is required for each new site added,
parents can rest assured that their child will only visit the sites
they determined to be safe.
