Does Covenant Eyes© monitor P2P, file-sharing, and video sites like YouTube?
Yes. In many cases you can tell what a site is just by the URL. However, in cases like Youtube, Google Images and similar pages, the URL itself does not indicate the content. This is why we have the Covenant Eyes scoring system. The scoring system reads the content of each individual page and generates a numerical score based on the cumulative result. Because YouTube and Google Images do have a lot of mature content readily available, CE typically flags sites like this with a base score of ‘8’ (somewhat mature). Any objectionable content found on the particular page will drive the score up higher. With Youtube, obscene comments will factor into the scoring as well.
