Turner Investigation, Research, and Communication and J.D. Koftinoff Software Ltd. are pleased to introduce The Internet Filter. The Internet Filter is the software solution to wide spread concerns regarding the effects of undesirable Internet material on the young people of our communities. Such concerns and mounting complaints are resulting in legislative changes while there are free speech voices which deplore the intervention of a regulatory authority policing the Internet.
Artist Bob Turner, an early - childhood - educator and director of Turner Investigation, Research, and Communication has joined with innovator Jeff Koftinoff, a computer programmer and president of J.D. Koftinoff Software Ltd. to create a software product whose time has come.... A filter that will empower parents to influence, choose, and control what their children can be exposed to on the Interent.
At present there are two versions of the The Internet Filter. The Internet Filter Version Zero has been designed to offer protection to children by allowing parental control via software installation. The Internet Filter Version One is a comprehensive, multipurpose commercial Internet filter which includes additional features. As of Tuesday, July 4th, the child protector version Zero of The Internet Filter will be made available to all net users at no financial cost. A copy may be picked up by anyone who visits the following site on the World Wide Web:
This is a world wide offering to anyone who is concerned about limiting unwanted influences available on Internet for the protection of young people. We trust The Internet Filter will be a valuable contribution for adults to exercise choice options for their families, and for the retention of free speech as it is uniquely expressed on the Internet.
