    And there is a filter called Web Blocker pro and it warns you, that it is going to root the phone

    That’s not what it says. It says it will only work if the phone is already rooted.

    If rooting were so dangerous, the Play Store shouldn’t carry apps which require root.

    Gavra, I don’t think every filter offers that.

    Also, I wonder if it becomes unfiltered, or reverts (sic) to a free version, or the phone stops working for data.

    That would be important, no? There is sufficient volume for them to force the market if they needed and wanted to do so.

    That it not become unfiltered? Agreed. It probably doesn’t.

    We need to know the name of the filter that costs $60. Its pointless to speculate if it is one that costs per month or the OP was charged $60 for a free app or the App really costed $60

    On the Tag Website, the following were not free

    Net Nanny is $9-$12 a month depending on the number of Devices

    VCF for Android is $12.95 a month, this one seems to be a Device manager type and not just a normal filter

    Why wouldn’t it become unfiltered if the subscriber discontinued paying the subscription? If it remained filtered someone could pay for only one month and continue using it indefinitely.

    It might block everything until it’s uninstalled by someone with the password.

    There are several things that could happen

    The software could simply cease to work, the software could stop updating itself

    or it could brick the entire device. With Net Nanny it would probaby stop updating and maybe disable itself however the VCF which is a device manager it could brick the device, someone could also just hack the VCF server and your device is bricked as well

    TAG is a 501c3. Donations are tax deductible. There are many ways for money to be transferred from 501c3’s to individuals. Salaries, speaking fees, traveling expenses, and other things come to mind.

    If your asking they should find sponsors for the filters, as I know they are working hared to find sponsors for the daily office expenses.

    so if you want to help first help them with the daily expenses.

    and they are not getting money from any mosed.
