As a parent of a teenager I am fairly lax and don't supervise too carefully. He does have "safe search" on, but otherwise no other filters. My son is only allowed to use his computer is a public room in the house. We have talks about what is appropriate online behavior. Some of this is trust. And yes he has his own computer, and taking it away is our main punishment.
I am mostly worried about online chatting. And that the male centric computer game sites he frequents are populated by anti-social young male adults who model inappropriate ways to talk with and about women.
When he was younger (6 & 7) most of his computer time was spend on games on CD and not online on a computer. When he did go online for research I would supervise. Times have changed and all the games and fun stuff are now online.
