New child safe e-mail is gaining support...
IT News, Canada - July 25,
2002 - Computer Collaborative, a publisher of
an online news report for women is reaching news reporting agencies to
alert parents worldwide about the new potential terrorist threats that may soon be reaching many homes . We
believe junk mailers will attempt to spread
fear through out the country by exploiting our nation's children who are
the most vulnerable and the prime targets, according to Computer Collaborative
spokesman Shahab.
"Following the terrorist attacks of September 11th, - Computer
Collaborative has joined hands with volunteer developers and programmers to
develop a new family safe e-mail messaging system to prevent all unauthorized e-mails from reaching inboxes of concerned families. This objective is being achieved by eliminating the use of standard e-mail addresses. Instead, the user
selects a confidential screen name ( nickname ) for sending and receiving all
e-mail. Without an e-mail address to send to, junk-mailers have no way to reach
the computers of their intended targets.
We believe we can also block all viruses without completely shutting down Internet communications, as has been suggested as one possibility,"
Computer Collaborative
spokesman Shahab. We have to take measures to thwart them at every turn," he said. |
