Does PICS recommend any particular software filter?
No. The World Wide Web Consortium, which developed PICS, is strictly vendor neutral. Q: I am worried that some classification systems may occasionally mislabel adult material as suitable for a child. I would feel confident if two separate classification systems both labeled the material as suitable for a child. Can I use a PICS compliant software filter to only permit access to material that has appropriate labels from two classification systems? A: In principle, a filter can pay attention to labels from more than one source. The actual implementation may vary from vendor to vendor. Q: I run a small business and several of my employees require regular access to a few Internet sites. Can I label those sites and run a software filter to ensure that my employees do not access any other sites? Is that difficult to do? How much time will it take me? A: Many vendors offer a “block unrated sites” option. The difficulty of creating your own zone of acceptable materials for employees will vary
