what people are saying | pros & cons of filtering | what we filter

The advent of the internet has brought about a change in the way business, communications, and entertainment are carried out. You can send a letter to a friend around the world and they will receive it almost instantaneously. You can buy a computer, schedule a week at a resort in the Bahamas, or you can simply post a web page about your favorite ice-cream sundae. These are amazing times.

These are also dangerous times for families. Just as you and I can e-mail friends and post pictures, others can do the same. This has led to an easy availability of profanity and pornography. The effect of these on the family has been well-documented.

There are several products available that are designed to prevent access to pornography by minors, but these products are defeatable, and information on how to defeat them is widely available. As concerned citizens and parents, we felt that there must be a better way. And we believe that we have found it.

When you connect to the internet through Family Voice, any web site that you request on your computer is first checked against our extensive database. We use a professional filtering solution that blocks access to objectional sites before they even reach you. No special software is required on your computer.

We at Family Voice provide you and your family access to the internet and all of its features, and we do it in a way that you can feel secure in what your children see.
