	Description:		A new internet service provider that offers fast fibre internet, but blocks harmful digital content, is being launched today. The Good Source is a family friendly internet service, and will allow parents to block any device in the home from accessing content like pornography and violence. It aims to protect young and vulnerable internet users from viewing harmful content. The Good Source has partnered with local tech company, Safe Surfer, which builds online safety and security products. The new web-crawling technology uses smart AI tools to categorise content on the internet, and also allows user to choose their own filters for what sites to block and when. Kathryn speaks with Rory Birkbeck, founder of Safe Surfer, and Steve Turner, one of the co-founders of The Good Source, along with Darryl McConnell and Ryan Kilfoil.
