Survey: Children's Web Safety Needs Enhancement in HK
Most Hong Kong parents have not taken effective measures to protect their children from inappropriate web content, a survey has found.
The survey, conducted by an institute of the Chinese University of Hong Kong and released Tuesday, interviewed 800 parents with school children who use the Internet in March this year.
Only one-third of the respondents said they had taken some measures to ensure internet security at home while over half of the respondents did not know or did not take any measures to prevent their children from accessing inappropriate online information.
For those who had taken some measures, they largely focused upon teaching their children to avoid reading such information.
Very few of them used technical measures like filtering, blocking software or password setting to deal with the matter.
