Wikipedia

​ Wikipedia is a multilingual, web-based, free encyclopedia that is based on a model of openly editable content. It is the largest and most popular general reference work on the Internet, and is one of the most popular websites by Alexa rank. It is owned and supported by the Wikimedia Foundation, a non-profit organization which operates on money it receives from donors. This website is available in over 300 languages!

It's Just an Encyclopedia - Right?

Wrong!!! Since it is "open source" anyone and anything can be accessed and edited from anywhere around the world! Furthermore there are specific sections created for media/video which can contain pornographic material! As long as a website is considered "open source" one must realize it is the most liberal of definitions and specifically does not want any oversight (filtering) being done. Bottom line: this website is one of the most dangerous because of it's educational value allowing parents to think about all the educational information which can be accessed and letting down their guard into realizing the amount of inappropriate material is available in one click.
