it is possible for elderly people to come across online pornography by mistake accidentally. This can happen when an elderly person clicks on a link or visits a website that they did not intend to visit, or when they receive an email or message with a link to inappropriate content.
It is essential for elderly people, as well as all internet users, to be aware of the potential risks of encountering inappropriate or disturbing material online and to take steps to protect themselves.
There are several steps that can be taken to protect elderly people from becoming victims of online pornography:
- Help your family members to understand how to use their web browser’s privacy settings to block or filter out inappropriate content.
- Encourage family members to use reputable, secure websites and to be wary of unfamiliar or suspicious websites.
- Remind family members to be cautious about providing personal information, such as their name, address, or financial information, to unknown sources online.
- Encourage family members to be mindful of phishing scams and other types of online fraud and to be suspicious of unsolicited emails or messages that personal request information or that ask them to click on a link or download something.
- Encourage family members to use antivirus software and to keep their computers and other devices up to date with the latest security patches to help protect against malware and other online threats.
- Remind family members that it is essential to be cautious about accepting friend requests or connecting with people they do not know on social media.
- Consider setting up parental controls or monitoring tools to block inappropriate content and to help protect your family members from online dangers.

How Can Secure Family App Protect Your Family From Online Harm?
Secure family uses a filtered service that can block inappropriate or dangerous content on a device. When a device is connected to the internet, it communicates with a Domain Name System (DNS) server to translate website names into their corresponding IP addresses.
Secure Family App is configured to block access to websites that contain inappropriate or dangerous content by intercepting the request to the DNS server and returning an error message instead of the IP address. This prevents the device from accessing the blocked website.
