McGee demonstrated the pro
gram, which asks only for a user
name and password.
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.
