Parental control software is a type of software designed to control what the user can and cannot view over the internet. It can occur on a local level such as a parent not wanting a child to view certain topics or on a larger scale whereby nations may block websites for everyone. On the national scale, many people view the use of this software as a form of censorship. The software can be located either on the personal computer or through the server of the ISP, but most of the parental control software is marketed towards the individual.
Publicly, this software is used in the libraries. Use in the library is base on local library board decision. Many were concerned about the constitutionality of parental control software in public places are violating the First Amendment. Several libraries still have the filters in place, but by law must remove the filter if and when an adult patron asks and may not inquire as to why they want the filter turned off.
