Popularization of the Internet might certainly be considered as a breakthrough. The first free and unrestrained medium was also the first place to experience total anarchy and its results. The consequences are widely-known. People of extremely different convictions got ability to present their views and no one could have controlled them. In fact, the Internet got immediately littered and now only tries of tidying it are possible. Url filtering is thought to be one of methods for selecting content.
