苹果的父母控制不好，微软也是如此

As sex education site O.school found, Apple’s new web filter is pretty bad. But all web filters are bad. Even Microsoft’s web filter, for Windows 10 and Xbox One, allows neo-Nazi websites and instructions for committing suicide.

正如性教育网站O.school所发现的那样，苹果新的网络过滤器非常糟糕。 但是所有的网络过滤器都是不好的。 即使是针对Windows 10和Xbox One的微软网络过滤器，也允许新纳粹网站和自杀说明。

Windows 10’s web filter is available when you add a child account to your PC. You can then visit the Microsoft Family website, click “Content Restrictions” for that child account, and activate the “Block Inappropriate Websites” option.

将子帐户添加到PC时，Windows 10的Web筛选器可用。 然后，您可以访问Microsoft Family网站 ，单击该子帐户的“内容限制”，然后激活“阻止不适当的网站”选项。

This setting only affects the Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer browsers, but the filter automatically blocks other common browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox from running while it’s enabled.

此设置仅影响Microsoft Edge和Internet Explorer浏览器，但启用该过滤器后，该过滤器会自动阻止其他常见浏览器(如Google Chrome和Mozilla Firefox)运行。

We ran some quick tests and found that, while Microsoft’s web filter doesn’t approach the level of awfulness in Apple’s new web filter, it’s also nowhere near perfect.

我们进行了一些快速测试，发现尽管Microsoft的Web过滤器没有达到Apple的新Web过滤器的糟糕程度，但它还远未达到完美。

Despite the description saying this will “block inappropriate websites” and prevent “results that are too mature” from appearing, it seems like this filter mostly blocks pornography.

尽管有描述说这将“阻止不适当的网站”并阻止“结果过于成熟”的出现，但似乎此过滤器主要阻止了色情内容。

That’s fine, but you can still access some nasty stuff. Microsoft’s web filter won’t let a child visit 4chan, but it does allow neo-Nazi news website The Daily Stormer. It doesn’t block searches like “how to join isis” or “how to commit suicide” either.

很好，但是您仍然可以访问一些讨厌的内容。 微软的网络过滤器不允许孩子访问4chan，但是它确实允许新纳粹新闻网站The Daily Stormer 。 它也不会阻止“如何加入isis”或“如何自杀”之类的搜索。

In fact, Bing’s results for “How to commit suicide” are a little too helpful, showing an instructional website that lays out how to kill yourself up top, while Google shows a suicide prevention phone number and a suicide prevention website up top. Microsoft’s web filter lets a child read all about how to kill himself or herself.

实际上，Bing的“如何自杀”的结果有点有用，显示了一个指导性网站，列出了如何自杀的网站，而Google则显示了预防自杀的电话号码和预防自杀的网站。 微软的网络过滤器使孩子能够阅读有关如何自杀的所有信息。

Bing should suggest helpful things like suicide prevention phone numbers instead of the horrible things it’s been suggesting.

Bing应该建议一些有用的事情，例如预防自杀电话号码，而不是它一直在建议的可怕事情 。

(And please, if you or someone you know is considering suicide, seek help.)

(并且，如果您或您认识的某人正在自杀，请寻求帮助 。)

We could probably find many more bad things that Microsoft’s web filter is letting through. That’s because this is a problem with all parental control systems that filter a list of websites. The list is always incomplete and won’t block some nasty websites. Or, in some cases, the list blocks helpful websites.

我们可能会发现Microsoft的Web筛选器可以解决的许多其他问题。 这是因为这是所有过滤网站列表的父母控制系统的问题。 该列表始​​终不完整，不会阻止某些讨厌的网站。 或者，在某些情况下，该列表会阻止有用的网站。

This isn’t just a Microsoft problem. Whatever parental controls you’re using, you can’t rely on them completely.

这不仅仅是微软的问题。 无论您使用什么家长控制，都不能完全依靠它们。

If you want to block websites for young children, we recommend relying on a whitelist. In other words, only allow access to a certain small list of preapproved, good websites. A blacklist is an attempt to make a list of bad websites on the web, and it will never work perfectly.

如果您想阻止幼儿的网站，建议您使用白名单 。 换句话说，只允许访问一小部分预先批准的优质网站。 黑名单是一种尝试在网络上列出不良网站的列表，它永远无法完美运行。

Thanks to The Verge for bringing the problems in Apple’s Screen Time parental controls to our attention. We first learned about Bing’s suicide prevention problem via @zaphrode on Twitter, too.

感谢The Verge使我们注意到Apple的Screen Time父母控制中的问题。 我们也首先通过Twitter上的@zaphrode了解了Bing的自杀预防问题。
