EU INITIATIVE FUNDS FILTERS
Hi all
This was posted to a mailing list down under I am on, and while I'm
not 100% sure where it's from, I think it is from "Edupage", and was
originally from Interactive Week.
Cheers

EU INITIATIVE FUNDS FILTERS
The European Union (EU), in conjunction with six European
companies and organizations, has launched the World Wide Web Safe
Surfing Project to develop Internet filtering applications
customized to users in several European nations. The initiative
is part of a $23.4 million EU strategy to make Web surfing free
of illegal or objectionable material. The EU is funding several
projects under the aegis of the initiative, the latest being a
multilingual, multicultural filtering technique. The Safe
Surfing Project addresses the fact that some leading Web filters
"do not really respect national or cultural differences," claims
Webwasher.com CEO Horst Joepen. Webwasher, a Siemens subsidiary,
is working on the Safe Surfing Project along with France's
Institut Eurecom and Thales Communications, Spain's Instituto
Tecnico de Ensenanza y Servicios, Zeus Consulting of Greece, and
the University of Namur in Belgium. The group wants to expand
filter use through the project, and expects their first products
to be available to the public in three or four months. The first
wave of filtering products will be aimed at French, Greek, and
Spanish users. (Interactive Week, 15 January 2001)
