content filtering

Content filtering is a process used to control what information can be accessed or viewed online. It works by examining data—such as websites, emails, or files—and blocking or restricting content that meets certain criteria, like inappropriate material, spam, or security threats. Organizations and individuals use content filtering to improve safety, ensure compliance, and manage internet usage more effectively. Essentially, it helps ensure that the digital environment remains appropriate and secure by automatically limiting access to unwanted or harmful content based on predefined rules or policies.
