Accountability software

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Accountability software, or Internet accountability software, is a type of Internet usage monitoring software.[1] Often an individual installs accountability software on his or own computer in order to try to avoid pornography use.[2]

Concept[edit]

"Internet accountability" is the willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one's actions on the Internet.[3] Accountability software may monitor Internet use on a personal computer, or Internet use by a specific user on a computer.[1] These software applications then generate reports of Internet use viewable by a third party, sometimes called an accountability partner.[4]
