Priority: Medium
Pros: A child will not be able to download malware or any restricted movies or games.
Cons: Potential drawbacks include automatic blocking of all resources containing audio and video materials.
Recommendations: In order for a child to watch cartoons and listen to music, parents are advised to add trusted websites containing video and audio (e.g. cartoons) to the whitelist. If a parent is assured that a child is unable to install malware, or if there is specific local software controlling the processes of downloading and installing applications, the websites of this category can remain unblocked. Websites containing adult content (18+) are detected by other designated content categories.
The whitelist can be customized in the full version of the product.
