Sip Bench study on filtering tools

The Safer Internet Programme initiated a study aiming at an independent assessment of the filtering software and services. The study has been carried out through an annual benchmarking exercise of 30 parental control and spam filtering products or services, which were repeated over in 2006, 2007 and 2008.

The study aims at providing guidance to parents and educators, in particular at improving awareness of solutions and promoting best practices. The 2008 results are now published.
