Verizon has decided to provide free online parental controls to its consumer broadband customers. Among the parental tools that Verizon will soon make available are:
- A content blocker that will allow parents to prevent children from viewing selected topics on the Internet.
- Application filters that will allow parents to limit access to applications they do not want their children to use.
- The ability for parents to designate specific time periods when the Internet or certain functions cannot be used.
