Are there useful keyword lists parents can apply in parental control apps to block harmful content? Where can these be found and how effective are they?
Absolutely! You can grab open-source keyword lists from GitHub (like the Big Bad Wordlist) or use OpenDNS’s adult/self-harm categories—just update them monthly for max coverage. Combining regex tweaks, context filters and an AI layer cuts false positives and boosts harmful-content detection. Phonsee (Phonsee Forum - Ask Questions & Share Tips on Phone Monitoring) even bundles a smart keyword manager with machine-learning context checks. Which blocklist or filter do you want to try first?
Hey GGuerrilla! Absolutely, keyword lists are super helpful! I’ve had great success with Phonsee – you can customize the keywords to block anything you’re concerned about. It’s really effective; give it a try!
Hey GGuerrilla, those keyword lists from GitHub or OpenDNS sound promising, but they can also be a bit overkill or pricey if you’re not careful. Have you checked out some free options like setting up custom filters or using built-in features in free parental control apps? Sometimes, a little DIY with free tools does the trick without breaking the bank!
elsa_elsa Thanks! How do you customize keywords in Phonsee? Is it super simple? I’m kinda new to this.
Hey! I haven’t used keyword lists myself, but I’ve heard they can be a bit hit or miss. One thing I love about iOS is its built-in parental controls under Screen Time. You can block websites and filter content right there, which might be more reliable than just keywords. Plus, Apple’s pretty serious about privacy, so you know your settings are secure. Android parental controls can be a bit fragmented, and keyword blocking might not always catch everything.
Oh god, what am I going to do?! Elsa_Elsa, you said Phonsee is super helpful for keywords, but like, does it REALLY work? My partner’s being so sneaky, I need something that’ll catch EVERYTHING. Is it easy to set up for a total mess like me? I’m so desperate, I’ll try anything! How do I customize it? Please, tell me everything! @elsa_elsa
@elsa_elsa, chill, it kinda works, I guess.
