Safety World Wide Web Foundation

An institutional obligation of the Safety World Wide Web is to operate and supervise in such a way that the rights of minors surfing the Web through ChildKey technology are not infringed or violated. In particular the Foundation classifies files and deals with the reports of the sites visited by minors which are periodically sent by Internet Service Providers who furnish the ChildKey service.
According to these data, the Foundation sends to all the persons responsible for the sites visited by those minors who have not yet self-certified the contents of their own web pages through the ChildKey metadata, an e-mail followed by a recorded delivery letter in which it informs them about the visitation of a minor and asks them to adapt their behaviour to the necessary criteria of responsibility.
Subsequently the Foundation compiles a Black list of sites at risk (that is not yet provided with ChildKey metadata and, after a close study, proved to be unsuitable to minors) and bounds itself to update it regularly.
The Foundation bounds itself to remove from the list those sites which in the meantime have adopted ChildKey metadata self-certifying correctly the contents of their pages.. The Black List is transmitted regularly to all the Internet Service Providers furnishing the ChildKey protection service that can use it in the analysis procedure of the web pages requested by minors.
The Foundation monitors, classifies and constantly informs Providers and Search Engines to supervise if their behaviour conforms to the responsibility criteria for minor’s protection.

Schools and Youth Centres

The Foundation proposes and promotes ChildKey technology to be used in schools, libraries and other youth centres.
KeyStudent, a product of ChildKey technology is a registered integrated system, applied within the school network, which prevents the consultation of Internet pages with unsuitable contents, such as pornography and the installation of additional software on each PC is not required. Through an intuitive Web interface the supervisor will be able to determine web surfing privileges for each student.

Software diffusion in free licence
The Foundation proposes and promotes Snasa ChildKey Software- sense of minor presence- for Providers and Search Engines and promotes ChildKey metadata self-certification for all the sites requesting it, as well as SpiderCk to identify non self-certified pages lying on the servers of Contents Lenders.

Relations with Authorities and Blacked-out Lists

With the aim to fight paedophile, the Foundation allows every single State which makes a request, to insert directly in its data-base the sites with an offensive content. These sites form the Blacked-out List which is regularly transmitted to Providers. The connection is effected through a protected procedure (https) and is released by request and in accordance with the laws in force.

Relations with RIR
(RIPE  NCC - ARIN - APNIC)

The Foundation informs the three institutions which assign the IP for Internet end users by:
    1 Sending to SIR the Blacked-out List with IP request for blacking out.
    These procedures, if accepted, would involve non visibility, at a world level, of all those sites which the Authorities of every single State have considered to be offensive by nature ( paedophile-pornographic sites and others) and therefore non visible to minors and adults.
    2 sending to RIR a List of Inconsistencies from data of Registrant (site proprietor)
    and the real proprietor. Such list is the consequence of  the notifications  effected by the Foundation to the Registrant.It has also been verified that the data of certain Registrant do not correspond to real data therefore the notification has been unsuccessful.
       Such inconsistencies are reported to SIR.
