"Blacklisting" technique has been widely used in the first generation of standalone filtering packages such as Cyber Patrol. Introduced in August 1995, Cyber Patrol works with both direct Internet access providers and commercial online services. Its CyberNOT list contains approximately 7000 sites in twelve categories (violence/profanity, nudity, sexual acts, gross depictions, racism/ethnic impropriety, satanic/cult, drugs, militant/extremist, gambling, questionable/illegal, alcohol/tobacco). Parents can selectively block access to any or all twelve categories by checking boxes in the programme manager.
