Internet surfing is commonly used today. May it be about searching for school stuff or just for the sake of killing time and browsing things in the Internet. However with the help of some blocking programs, you’re now limited to search. These programs are installed in your computers for safety precautions.
Every time I try to surf the internet at school, I always feel a little bit deprived of the freedom that I usually have at home. That’s because there is this certain program that blocks all the community sites and porn sites (the banned sites). I don’t blame them for doing that and I think that it’s only practical for them to apply that program in every computer at school. But then, there are these instances that DANS GUARDIAN (the certain program that blocks banned sites) automatically block sites that are not suppose to be banned, which is annoying. You cannot actually do your work properly because of this program.
Like for example, today, we were asked to look for a picture that we would want to work on for our COMPART class. However, with Dans Guardian installed in the computers, I am then limited to the sites and pictures. I was disappointed and also surprised by the fact that I can’t work on some Disney characters because as what Dans Guardian showed me, that it has porn and has sexually explicit visuals. And thus, the site is banned.
So, internet surfing at school has its limits. You cannot search anything that has some kind of porn with it. You cannot also log on to community sites like Friendster and Facebook, though its okay.

I had the exact same issue today. I was trying to look for a picture of princess diana and audrey hepburn for the color exercise for compart today and dansguardian blocked the pictures. These are two very prominent women who do not have scandalous pictures, so really why was it banned?
I was also looking for pictures of bracelets and it was actually banned. I mean come on there's nothing wrong with a bracelet why was it banned?
They should find a new program that would ban only the sites that should be banned.
