How is monitoring different from filtering?
Filtering provides blocking without accountability. Monitoring provides accountability without blocking. For more information about filtering, visit our Filtering page. Filtering attempts to block a person from viewing potentially harmful websites, not hold the viewer accountable. Most filters use a “black list” of known websites that are deemed to be objectionable. If the site you attempt to visit is on the “black list,” it is blocked; if it is not on the “black list,” it is allowed. Surveys indicate that “black lists” fail to include 5 to 30 percent or more of harmful sites. WebChaver never blocks access to desirable sites, and is extremely difficult to bypass. A record of sites visited is stored by username. This record or “Accountability Report” is sent by email to the Accountability Partner(s) on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis. WebChaver reduces temptation and eliminates the secrecy of using the Internet. WebChaver works!
