U.S. to Announce Voluntary Internet Safety Plan 04-MAY-99 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Information to help parents protect their kids online will be just "one click away" under a new voluntary program to be unveiled by Vice President Al Gore Wednesday, administration officials said. The program, to be reached by clicking on a link from leading World Wide Web pages, will feature a Web site with online safety tips, a guide to protective software, and a listing of "high quality" educational materials on the Internet. Gore's announcement comes as the Columbine High School shooting tragedy has increased many parents' fears about their children's online activities. The direct causes of the shooting by two Colorado teenagers remains open to debate, but public opinion polls found many people blaming the events on the Internet, along with easy access to firearms, violent TV shows and video games and bad parenting. Firms offering software to block, filter or monitor kids' Internet surfing have reported an upsurge in business since the Littleton massacre. In a White House ceremony, Gore plans to give the Internet industry credit for committing to the new program, saying it demonstrates "a positive step forward -- empowering parents with the tools, knowledge and resources to supervise and guide their children's online experience," Gore's office said. The program's Web page will also have a section explaining how to report online crimes or other troubling activity. Internet blocking and filtering software like Net Nanny Software Inc.'s "Net Nanny" program is already used by about one-third of parents with kids age 8 to 17, according to a survey by the University of Pennsylvania released Tuesday. But the survey found three out of four parents still feared that their children could view porn and about the same number worried that their kids would give out personal information about themselves. Gore and other government officials have endorsed software products as a means of preventing children from accessing violent or pornographic Internet sites. The software troubles some civil liberties advocates, who argue that the products also block access to important political, health and religious sites. The White House also plans to hold a youth violence summit next week with representatives of the Internet, entertainment and gun industries. Police, government and religious leaders are also expected to attend.
