First of all, *excuse* me for my English... I just watched a short documentary that was describing the dangers that Internet hides for many children-teenagers. Many teens are watching cruel videos related to drugs, alcohol, sex, crime, death and so on... Most of these videos are really hard and can traumatize the children. I ,myself, was watching this kind of videos and now I can tell for sure that it would have been better if I hadn't.
The main problem with every similar situation where a child-teen misuses the Internet is that its parents know *nothing*. I believe that it would be very nice to offer the ability to parents to monitor theirs children activity on PCs in a simple and easy way. After all Ubuntu is a distribution that offers simplicity and out-of-the-box experie- nce to its end users. For example we could provide a package with: 1) An advanced keylogger 2) A report system about the activity of the user (aka child-teen) 3) Restricted access to hardcore material 4) Logs from Pidgin and other common chat programs 5) Irregular - Suspicious filesystem activity notification (hidden folders) HINT: I'm talking about an intergrated secure solution provided by the OS itself and not services like www.cybersitter.com... I don't think that this will be very complicated for example grepping the keylogs for certain words and presenting them with GUI is something simple. Also I'm unaware of anything similar in Windows or FOSS community. What are your thoughts? Would you like to help me with this project? Do you have anything else to propose?
