The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Child Safety on the Internet':

Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
This volume contains a helpful and generally realistic set of resources. It talks primarily about the dangers, but does note that the risks are not as bad as some of the hype. The book does, for once, look at other "dangers" besides pornography, and has a reasonable chapter on netiquette. Online service protection options, content rating systems, and protective/support groups are discussed. In addition, there are suggestions and advice for "after the fact" detecting and policing. There are some gaps in the book. The fact that there are weaknesses, inaccuracies and misleading statements in the (now infamous) Rimm study/Time special is dismissed as "not important". The subtle censorship of Internet filter software is not discussed. (One of the filter programs on the accompanying CD-ROM blocks non-pornography or violence related terms which are germane only to discussions of certain political leanings. Filter developers will not even confirm the dictionary of words used, with some slight justification.) Most filter packages do not allow parents to tune or manage the terms to be included or excluded. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1996
