A mobile smart phone has the power to access the internet, which is a very powerful tool that is required for modern living, but it has a dangerous dark side, which cannot help build christian lives.
I have provided mobile smartphones with internet access for my family to work, study, communicate, and conduct business on the go. This is great, but I want to protect us from the dangers on the internet, which will grieve our righteous souls (2 Peter 2:8). Therefore, I have installed Trend Micro Mobile Security for Android Smartphones on all of our phones (including mine). It is set to block all websites that are unsuitable for teenagers and children.
Trend Micro™ Mobile Security™ is a full-featured security solution for mobile devices. It incorporates Trend Micro anti-malware technology that is tailored to defend against the latest mobile threats, including malware. With Mobile Security, you can also filter unwanted calls and text messages by configuring Approved and Blocked filtering lists. Mobile Security also provides Web Reputation, and Parental Controls, which enables you to protect your mobile device from websites known to promote: phishing, pharming, hacking, and so on. Additionally, these features can filter unwanted websites that may contain objectionable material from children, teenagers, and other family members.
I don’t claim this is the best or only solution, because there are many similar products with lots of pros and cons, but I am just describing what I have done for the protection of my family.
