Hi Websense is a San Diego -based company specializing in web filtering software Their software is used by customers including companies schools and libraries to protect their networks from spyware prevent students from viewing sexual or other inappropriate content discourage employees from spending time browsing webpages instead of working and similar purposes.It uses a combination of filtering categories and word filters which has been criticized because it can block innocent websites or content protected by free speech like sexual education websites.This can be done on purpose as censorship or simply by accident due to over-reaching categories. Websense allows system administrators to block access to web sites and other protocols based on categories.These contain lists of sites that may be blocked at will either at specified times or permanently. thanks.
