Canopy: The Faith-Based Solution for Online Content Filtering and Family Protection

Canopy detects and blocks inappropriate content in real-time, protecting you and your family from the vices of the internet.

What is the story of Canopy?

Unique content filtering technology was developed in Israel over 15 years ago because of a religious community's deep belief in safeguarding the purity of their eyes and souls when using the internet. As members of Israel's Ultra-Orthodox population entered the workforce, they began using smartphones and computers and needed a way to prevent exposure to explicit content online.

Netspark was founded to meet this need, and its AI content-detection technology allowed it the unique ability to block explicit content on otherwise-acceptable websites and social media platforms. Members of Israel's more liberal streams of Judaism, as well as traditional and secular Jews, soon began to realize the need for this technology - especially for their children. The technology is now used to filter computers in over 90% of the country's schools as well.

Canopy is a parental control app that was developed with the same technology to meet the needs of American parents and adults looking to give themselves a cleaner online experience. While awareness of the psychological and social damage caused by pornography is growing among the American public as a whole, it is the faith-based community that has been at the forefront of the battle for a cleaner internet - just like in Israel.

What's one challenge that you overcame when working on Canopy?

It is not always easy to distinguish a parental control and content filtering app in a crowded market. However, we have found that once our unique ability to filter nudity and even partial nudity is understood, Canopy is recognized as a great choice.

Where have you seen God's hand in the building of Canopy?

Canopy's technology was created initially to help the religious in Israel protect their souls from online dangers and temptations. Its origin stemmed from sincerity and a holy demand and I believe that this may have earned the company the blessed opportunity to protect the vast majority of Israel's schoolchildren online.

What advice would you give to a Christian creative?

Christians have religious and moral needs, some of which can be met with technology. If you try to meet those needs with sincerity, humility, and a desire to learn, it can certainly help towards developing technology to their benefit.
