Caylix has partnered with a Dutch company called Kliksafe, to use their Reformed-based filtering system for Reformed communities in Canada and the USA.

The original press release from November 2005 about the Caylix-Kliksafe partnership, click here.

To summarize the history Kliksafe briefly, Kliksafe originated from the RDNet, which was started in 1999. However, RDNet was not able to make money with their whitelist based internet filter. It clearly needed a new vision and better filtering in order to continue on a break-even or profitable basis. In October 2003, the Society for Responsible Media Use (Stichting Verantwoord Mediagebruk) took the 5900 RDNet users and formed a new company called Kliksafe, directed by Bert Jan Peters. By May 2006, the number of Kliksafe subscribers surpassed 10,000.

Regarding filter criteria, Kliksafe blocks sites that have an appealing character for unchristian religions and pictures of God. Sites that have objective information about religions like Islam are permitted. Sites that have subjective or persuasive information about hate, discrimination, racism, suicide, euthanasia, smoking, drugs, and alchol abuse are blocked. Kliksafe (and Caylix) also block peer-to-peer (P2P) that facilitate easy sharing of files, movies, programs, and music.

All site screening is done by a team of volunteers that are managed by Kliksafe. Our filter criteria is simply a translated version of the Dutch filter criteria.
