There appear to be many content filtering products and services
available. I do not have any direct or indirect experience with any
of these, but some resources which might prove helpful to your
customer are listed below.
Due to the variability of Web content, it is likely that none of
these tools will do a perfect job: at least on a few occasions, they
may interfere with viewing of innocuous content or allow viewing of
'undesirable' Web content.
Best wishes,
