The Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) mandates that organizations receiving federal funding for internet access implement stringent blocking, filtering, and monitoring measures. CleanBrowsing provides the tools necessary to meet CIPA requirements, ensuring a secure and compliant online environment for minors.
The Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) was enacted by the US Congress in 2000 to address concerns about children's access to obscene or harmful content over the Internet, specifically pornography. CIPA imposes requirements on schools and public libraries that receive discounts for Internet access or internal connections through the E-rate program, making certain communications services and products more affordable for eligible schools and libraries. The latest updates to this rule were made in 2011.
