The Internet should NOT be screened, monitored or blocked. There are other ways to protect national security than to track the citizenry's Internet activity. The basis behind the free exchange of thought would be undermined if people were afraid their government were watching and there may be repercussions for their actions and thoughts. I am unequivocally opposed to any kind of monitoring of adults in pursuit of whatever they wish to search for. If you wish to monitor your children's activities, that is fine but as an adult, I do not need the government or anybody else to monitor and/or censor my activities.\n\nPolicing the internet for child predators such as adults posing as children to catch predators is fine. If you are not a child predator, you have nothing to worry about. It would be similar to policing the streets for drug dealers in the cities, if you are not dealing, there is nothing to worry about but I am opposed to monitoring and tracking of people's free exchange of thought.

Go to tools-internet options-security.I think medium security level is appropriate for what you want.

Go to the library.  The internet is not the only source of information in this world.  As a matter of fact, it is limited, biased, and usually just someone's opinion.  Just like this.

You should always validate any information you find on the internet with multiple sources. In general, Wiki seems to be a fairly reliable source for information.

This is a very narrow view of the topic 'Internet'. A significantly wider (but still biased) view of the internet might be:\n\nhttp://www.ebay.com/ \n\nhttp://www.google.com/\n\nhttp://amazon.com\n\nhttp://www.irs.gov \n\nhttp://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/

If your gnutella client has fooled you into sharing everything on your computer, and depending on the content of your computer, it is nothing to find out insane amounts of info on people.\n\nI am not saying that I agree in the invasion of people's pivacy, even if it is legal.

No. There are many software packages which advertise that they do that, but it is technically not possible to block everything.\n\nInstead, have your children use the internet responsibly, and don't let "it" alone keep them company, as you might do with tv for excample. The internet is not a child-friendly place.

Filmmakers can only control the showing of any portions of their movie that is released on the Internet.  The showing of any part of their film is under their control.  Any other information released is not under their control.  However any critic that would release the whole plot and ending of the movie would not be in the business very long.

You have begun to ask the question that riddles the worldwide scope of Policy leaders for twelve years now. I cannot believe that anything should change directly affecting our personal use. There presently is monitoring systems located within each server that handles broadband traffic. There are new programs designed to establish a set of Super Nodes that create a sub field within the 'Internet' to handle traffic and material. This connection would run multiple times faster than even T3, and provide access to your home PC from your mobile PDA, laptop etc. This would be available with a secure 'network' one that could be highly monitored, but reach as wide of the horizon. A change like this needs to be developed before any true Policing of the Internet can be possible, I believe.

The greatest strength of the internet is that no-one can control the content.  The issuing of site names is controlled by a number of organizations, but the actual content of sites is not (there is just far too many pages for anyone to check).\n\nMuch of this content is hosted in countries where regulators look the other way. \n\nControl can only be done by getting companies to stop hosting such sites, or, by use of filters by your internet provider or on your own computer.\n\nA number of financial istitutions currently have an initiative to refuse to process payments to such sites.  However, that does not help with the huge numbers of free sites or sites using other payment schemes.\n\nWhile there are very, very few people who would disagree with banning child pornography sites, the problem then becomes where do you draw the line?\n\nChina is seeking to control access for political reasons.\n\nCertain other countries seek to impose controls for religious or cultural reasons.\n\nMany large corporations would like be able to ban content that infringes their trademarks or intellectual property.  Again it is easy to sign up to banning counterfeiting or piracy, but how do you stop the banning of legitimate consumer complaints? \n\nIts a very difficult line to draw.

Probably not quite, however this information has been freely avaliable on the internet for decades, like the Microsoft TerraServer. If someone really wanted to do something, unfortunately I'm sure they would. \nSource(s):\nhttp://terraserver.microsoft.com/...

You can consider internet as a source of information. It provides you with information on any topic. Just use a search engine "Google", "Yahoo" etc to find what you want. This is the best use of internet.

It depends entirely on whether or not the state or county in which you live makes that information available online.  It's all available, but not everything is available online.
