blocking software

Any of various software programs that work on the World Wide Web to block access to categories of information considered offensive or dangerous. Typically used by parents or teachers to ensure that children do not see pornographic or other inappropriate material, some blocking products additionally allow the blocking of personal information such as home addresses and telephone numbers; some people regard this as censorship.

Popular blocking software products include Net Nanny, SurfWatch, CyberPatrol, and CyberSitter.
