Web filtering in schools blocks students from inappropriate and distracting content across the web, while allowing sites that are selected by school administrators. ^[1] Rather than simply blocking off large portions of the Internet, many schools utilize customizable web filtering systems that provide them with greater control over which sites are allowed and which are blocked. Schools will typically block social media websites, games, pornography, other distracting websites, websites that harm academic integrity, websites that bypass web filtering, etc.
