<p align="left">If you're new to SurfSafely.com you may be asking yourself <i>
What makes this "family friendly" web directory different from other
child safety resources?</i> We promote Internet child safety through informed
content filtering. Sites listed here must be rated by the content developer
using PICS labels (Platform for Internet Content Selection) from either ICRA
or SafeSurf. Not only is self labeled content generally of a higher caliber
than similar non-rated content, many Internet filters can read those labels
giving parents and teachers the power to choose what enters their homes and
classrooms. We also use these labels combined with page scanning to limit what
is allowed in our directory. Our policies for responsible web publishing are
very clear and strictly enforced. Child internet safety is everyones concern,
not just the porn intustry. Everyone should use PICS labels to publish online.</p>
<p align="left">We are promoting online child safety through informed content selection
using Internet filters and parental controls that can read PICS labels. SurfSafely.com
fills the need for one centralized location to find labeled content. Without it,
the free PICS filters already bundled with most web browsers are virtually useless.
With it, PICS filters become a powerful tool. We're working very hard to help
you create a safe and wholesome online environment. We hope you will take advantage
of the many tools available to you and make our search engine a regular part of
your online experience.</p>
