Censorware


Filter

  • The most common filter is a software filter that reads data in and manipulates the data to fit another output pattern or removes data that may not be needed. For example, spam filters help filter unwanted e-mail from reaching your Inbox.

  • Hardware devices can also be filters. For example, a firewall can filter network traffic to help protect a network.

  • Alternatively referred to as censorware, a swear filter, or a content filter, a filter can be used to describe software or hardware which selectively blocks certain data. For example, a parental control Internet filter can be used to help block obscene websites from children on the Internet.

  • The term filter also refers to a device inside of a power supply that smooths out pulsing DC current.
