Citing the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, McGee noted that one in 33 chil dren receives aggressive sexual solicitations and that only 25 per cent tell their parents. For $18.95 per month, www.columbia.se also offers un limited filtered Internet access, a component of which is filtered in stant-messaging programs. The program has a backup plan in case someone receives a legiti mate e-mail from a friend that might contain off-color jokes. “This is a sensitized filtering service. It’s contextual,” Yajnik said. As he explained, a message saying “He’s the bomb” would not be filtered, whereas something reading “He’s going to bomb the school” probably would. Also, McGee said, “there’s a junk-mail folder, which collects junk mail. If there are fears that it will filter an important message, there’s no chance you’ll ever have a message lost.” For those who want to avoid ever seeing potential pornogra- j phy, profanity or spam, a “delete all” feature is available. Because www.columbia.se is accessible to anyone, theoretical ly, anyone could use the service. “We’re opening this up to ev eryone, but the e-mail addresses will say ‘@columbia.sc,’ so that will probably minimize the num ber of people from Greenville who get accounts,” McGee said. People who use the service can have it run through their old e mail accounts, so they don’t have to change their addresses. Because of the site’s accessibil ity, Yajnik said, “all those mi grants” out of Columbia, such as USC students, can still take ad vantage of the filtering. “It will benefit citizens and put us on the cutting edge,” Coble’ said.
