I\’m hoping this will be one of the last stories I link to from ZD Net. The ads are beyond horrible, and I see no reason to continue to use the site. Anywhoo…
The Story is on Bess N2H2\’s filtering software. They say it\’s used by 12 million students in kindergarten through 12th grade, and of course if CIPA is actually enforced, that number will be much higher. Bess knows where the students go on the Web and how long they spend there. It also knows when students try to access a site that\’s on N2H2\’s blacklist for being too violent or containing pornography. Not suprisingly late last year, N2H2 began selling its data.
I would think whatever your views on filtering, you would not support this… but I could be wrong.
