If you want the ultimate protection from pornography, you’ll want to both filtering and screenshot accountability. For $16 / month, you can have both. Screenshot accountability is different from filtering. It doesn’t block what you’re able to access, but instead reports to a parent or trusted friend how you used your device. This allows you to learn to have full access to the internet, without succumbing to temptation.
Screenshot accountability doesn’t suffer from the limitations filters have because it focuses on the root of the problem–the content on your screen. It handles porn in offline content, mixed content sites, social media, Youtube, and more.
