AOL's "youth filters" protect kids from Democrats
April 24, 2000
America Online provides "youth filters" that are supposed to keep
kids out of dangerous Web sites--but they seem designed to elimi-
nate creeping liberalism.
For example, if you've set up AOL to restrict your children to
"Kids Only" Web sites:
• Your children can easily view the site of the Republican National
Committee, but the Democratic National Committee is blocked.
• Children can call up the conservative Constitution Party and Li-
bertarian Party, both of which are promoting their own U.S. pre-
sidential candidates. But if they attempt to view Ralph Nader's
Green Party or Ross Perot's Reform Party, they see only a "not
appropriate for children" error.
