Several methods have been tried to remove objectionable content from the internet. They have had various degrees of success depending on the two audiences that have been targeted.
The first audience has been "family use". The intention was to remove objectionable content to the extent that a religious family can allow both children, teenagers and adults to ''benefit'' from the internet in much the same way it was thought that non-Jewish families ''benefited'' from the internet. In recent years, the entertainment, educational, economical (online shopping) and sociological (meeting new people) benefit to a religious family has been much questioned.
The second audience has been "professional use". Solutions were sought for people who are required and permitted to use the internet, either for their job, to perform research, or for jewish outreach. This category of people are generally people who are married and are preprared to work with the non-religious public. This also includes ''baalei teshuvah'' who have taken on a a religious lifestyle by choice, and under Rabbinic guidance reach out to others and to encourage them to return. These individuals also often found themselves inundated with unwanted advertisements, objectionable imagery and opportunity for engage in social activities which would normally be discouraged in a religious household.
