Internet Filtering

Internet filtering refers to the process of controlling and restricting access to online content based on specific criteria. This can be done by governments, educational institutions, or organizations to block websites or types of content deemed inappropriate, harmful, or irrelevant. Filters can target various materials, including adult content, violence, hate speech, and even certain political views. While filters can help protect users, especially children, they can also limit freedom of information and expression. The balance between safety and access to information is an ongoing debate in the context of internet governance.
