Internet
Content The Internet and the growth of electronic commerce are dramatically enhancing access to information. The U.S. supports the broadest possible flow of information and content over the Internet, but also recognizes the concerns of consumers regarding on-line pornography and other material that parents may deem harmful or inappropriate for children. With respect to inappropriate content, the U.S. supports an industry-led, self-regulatory approach reinforced by enhanced consumer awareness and the widespread availability of consumer empowerment technology. An example of such a private sector initiative is "GetNetWise." This is an easily accessible online resource for parents that provides information on Internet safety tips, consumer content filtering products, law enforcement contacts, and guides to quality educational and age-appropriate online content.
