How does Lightspeed Guide know what to filter?
First, every month we literally download the Internet onto our army of servers. Then we use statistical analysis of the web content and its external links. A red flag is raised whenever a site uses foul, violent, hate, pornographic language. Another red flag raises when there are links to known bad sites—that is, sites that are inappropriate for the age of your children. Finally, Lightspeed Systems has been filtering web content for schools since 2003. These schools, like you parents, are concerned about kids. So they’ve told us when we’ve made an error—by overblocking or underblocking. This constant, relevant feedback pays off with an incredibly accurate filter for your home.
