Oh, how appealing it must be to think that you can keep your kids safe by installing a browser extension. Or to think that what's vulgar and profane in this world can be detected by filtering text through a list of words to strike out. As appealing an idea as it is wrong.
How many of us know parents so uptight that they never let their children near anything they might think was unclean? Never let them play in the dirt, maybe even eat some? Never let them near dogs or cats, instilling in them an instinctive and ever-growing fear of animals?
Very much like British prime minister Cameron's scheme to censor the Web, it's a neurotic drive that's mistrustful of the people it's seemingly meant to protect. What's wrong with the kids that you need magical thinking like this to save them?
Put that much energy into contempt for your kids and you'll find that energy working against you. The underlying issue is disrespect for whoever it is you're censoring from. Not only does it make the censored matter vastly more interesting for being so threatening, but whatever it is you're afraid of in the kids will still be there, while your energy and attention will have been sapped away by fool's errand half-measures like this.
Hello Adelle,
Thanks for such a BIG reply. I think the same as you, believe me. But, as I already saw on research (analytics of my extension) there are really tons of people who really wants to filter out things like f--k, b---h, c--t and replace them with [censored] or even <white ponies>.
So, I think we must respect those who decided to filter out profanity, it's their choice.
How, do you think, maybe I really should change the accent from kid safety tool (which is under the question after your post) to just word/profanity filter ?
For a start, you might not explicitly claim your product keeps kids safe on the Internet — something you can't possibly believe.
I must apologize, though. I hadn't known this was your project. It may've been implied somewhere, but I hadn't picked up on that.
Waiting for comments!!
