Therefore to view "objectionable" material, you must proactively turn the
family
filter off. I know Altavista at one point considered turning on a family
filter for all of the
web, but they have now implemented it for a portion of the web.
According to FAQ at http://www.altavista.com/av/content/help_family.html
Experienced editors from SurfWatch and AltaVista update content lists each
week to
provide you with the most current information, minus the objectionable sites.
SurfWatch blocks in these five categories:
Drugs/Alcohol/Tobacco
Gambling
Hate Speech
Sexually Explicit
Violence
