- 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:
-
- http://www.xmission.com/~seer/jdksoftware/netfilt.html
-
- 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.
