🛡️💻 Podcast Summary: “The Positive Net Filter – A Better Way to Surf the Web”
From The Mad Scientist Supreme

🌐 Problem with Current Filters
Today’s internet filtering tools are largely reactionary—they work as negative net filters.
Try searching for “Titmouse” and you may still stumble into NSFW results
Porn and scam sites tweak spelling or naming to evade filters, making them unreliable
🔍 These filters work by identifying “bad” sites and blocking them after the fact. But as sites constantly evolve, the blockers are always playing catch-up.

✅ Enter: The Positive Net Filter
Instead of blocking known bad content, the positive net filter would work by allowing access only to pre-approved “good” content.
🧾 Think of it as a bouncer at a club—you don’t get in unless your name is on the guest list. No fakes. No disguises.
🧠 Key Concept:
Pre-verify websites that meet certain standards
Allow Google (or other search engines) to only show results from this curated list
If a site isn’t on the list, it doesn’t appear—no entry

💡 Implementation and Revenue Model
🔁 Phase 1:
Start with major trusted domains: Wikipedia, Sears, Kmart, major news outlets
Accept recommendations from churches, civic groups, and respected institutions
🛠️ Phase 2:
Allow vetted organizations (e.g. schools, religious groups, advocacy groups) to add trusted websites
Offer free inclusion at first, then transition to small fees for review and listing
Over time, it becomes a self-regulating whitelist system
📈 Monetization:
Target niche groups like Mormons, Baptists, veterans, Buddhists, LGBTQ+ communities
Each group can custom-tailor their version of the net filter
Could be added to routers or as standalone software
Ideal for parents, schools, and values-based communities

🧠💵 Market Potential
This idea addresses:
The growing concern over digital safety and exposure
The demand for customizable browsing experiences
The failure of current filter systems to keep up with evolving content
📊 Could be an entirely new class of software—one that doesn’t block the bad, but embraces only the good

💬 Final Thoughts
This proactive “only let in what you trust” method of filtering may revolutionize how families, schools, and niche communities use the internet.
