Thu, 21 Jan 2010 01:55:43 +0000 http://www.insideinternetfiltering.com/?p=42#comment-3065 I appreciate the fact that my parents want to keep me safe, but even my dad agrees that the way Net Nanny monitors Facebook is pathetic. I actually doubt the application caches information for more than 24 hours, from the way the app prompts me to re-approve it every other minute. The application prevents me from tagging photos and sometimes even from reaching my profile page. Which... defeats the entire point of Facebook. There doesn't seem to be any way to fix the glitches that NN causes with Facebook, except by disabling the Facebook monitor. Is that even possible? If it is, I am off to beg my father to do so. -Rachel Q. I appreciate the fact that my parents want to keep me safe, but even my dad agrees that the way Net Nanny monitors Facebook is pathetic.

We parents have nothing better to do than stalk our kids. We spend all of our time thinking of ways to ruin your life. Why can't we find something better to do? It's a big bad world. Like it or not we, the parents, have been charged with protecting you from it until you have the brains to protect yourself. Net Nanny actually allows my child more freedom. He can now use his computer without me looking over his shoulder all day. Seems like a pretty good deal to me. If anyone has any positive feedback on how to make the Facebook filter work, I would love to hear it. BH That’s right. We parents have nothing better to do than stalk our kids.

It has frozen my Facebook and now forces me to sign in every thirty seconds without reprieve. I'm not into porn, I'm not into game sites, and I'm not a hacker. I am just trying to live my life in the digital world, and this tumor of an application is making it impossible. This filter has the technological sophistication of a retarded clam.

I'm 20 years old, so I'm perhaps a bit too old to be harassed by a content blocker...but anyways! My biggest complaint is the way Content Watch jacks up facebook. I can do virtually nothing but view the "home" page. In my humble opinion, Net Nanny is more hassle than it's worth!

One day you'll understand that when you can afford your own computer and internet conection, you'll be allowed to do as you please- in the mean time, it's my job to fix comptuers trashed by angry kids visiting games websites, chat sites, and variuous other sources of bad stuff. Net Nanny has made my job a little bit easier, and the parants I install it for thank me for giving them peace of mind that inappropriate material won't pop up in front of their 12-year-old.

I got a new PC, installed NN 6.0 and allowed it to do its thing with Facebook. Now Facebook is not working right and I attempted to uninstall NN but it still shows in the program list in "ad/remove programs". I can't comment others or update status on my home page and neither can the three other users here. I've emailed both NN and FB ....we'll see if I get a response.
