Protecting Minors Online

Just as we don’t allow our children to watch inappropriate content on television, it is equally important to monitor and guide their online activity. Protecting minors from harmful or shocking online content—such as pornography, violence, discrimination, or other illegal and dangerous material—is a shared responsibility.

What Can Parents Do?

The first and most important step is open communication, education, and awareness. It is crucial to accompany children during their first experiences on the internet and help them understand that the online world follows the same moral and legal rules as the real one.

Which Tools Can Help?

Device security (computers, tablets, smartphones) is essential. We recommend regularly updating software, using reliable antivirus programs, and installing parental control tools. However, no technical solution can fully replace active parental supervision and guidance.

Within the European Union, internet service providers are obligated to inform users about available filtering options and free protection software.

On pomporn.com, a special metadata tag is included on every page to allow parental control tools to automatically block access if appropriate software is installed on the device.
