Minimize Exposure

Evaluate

Consider Potential Addiction

Use Filters

Content Filtering

> Having a good filter in place will help in times of low resolve
> A good filter in place will reduce accidental exposure
> The higher the risk, the greater the need for safeguards
> Free is nice, but it’s reasonable to pay for safety
> Consider split passwords where two parties (e.g. husband and wife) need to supply half to modify filter settings

Ad Blocking

> Blocking most web ads will dramatically reduce exposure to unwanted temptations and distractions
