If you ever want to remove it or unblock you will be able to do it yourself.
Whereas with tag, you would have to actually go in or call up. |
What's the app called?

On principle, we don't use TAG, though we do filter heavily. It's expensive and they resist any changes. In addition, they can collect information for the requesting organization (school, shul, etc.) if you are part of one. It made me very uncomfortable.
We filter our devices at home. We have a 2 stage process: Router router level at home, where certain information is blocked by the router (that needed to be checked out by our employers to make sure they didn't block any important work related information or compromise security requirements).
Device level controls:
Apples have great parental controls. Your spouse/ friend/ sibling can have your parental control password so you can't undo it, and you can have theirs.
Androids are much harder to manage, but possible. We have found Custodio currently the most reasonably priced, and less hassle than others. It is relatively good; it doesn't change skin tone. Every few years we need to change companies.
In general, find a buddy you trust and give them the password to the filter program. You'd need to request permission for them to add apps/ sites etc. This is common because it might block sites you want to see; ie: all entertainment will include lots of cooking websites and imamother.
We also use these systems to put time limits on certain apps/ sites as well.
A clever kid can get around android controls. You need someone to actually see their activity, to see if they're trying to tunnel around the filters.

The choice is the internal youtube controls or not permiting youtube.
I believe TAG does not permit Youtube. |
TAG works with you, they don't make rules for you.
You tell them what you want and they have various filters with various options/levels. Can also typically disable a category while whitelisting something specific. The only thing they really wouldn't open is something like outright p*** (but if you were trying to open that, why would you have a filter in the first place?)
I'm guessing you don't need TAG and you can do it all yourself, but there's a reason people use service providers, they generally know what they're doing and the nuances of the topic.
