1. A computer-implemented method for managing Internet activity of a mobile device, the method comprising:
- receiving a user profile of a user of the mobile device;
transmitting and receiving data information to and from the mobile device, including receiving a request for content to be displayed on the mobile device via a wireless communication network, and wherein the request is addressed to a server having access to the content, and wherein the request is sent by an application on the mobile device via the wireless communications network;
determining whether content associated with the request is allowable based on at least in part the user profile and a preconfigured policy, said determination being performed by the server; and
responsive to the determination, allowing the content associated with the request to be downloaded to the mobile device via the wireless communication network if allowable; and
not sending the content to the mobile device via the wireless communication network if not allowable.
