I may be wrong. but seem to remember that Yogesh asked about setting up an Internet café a while back. If that's so, perhaps he just wants to make sure his clients arn't accessing dodgy sites, etc. I have no idea as to how responsible an owner of an Internet café would be if some of his clients were accessing seriously dodgy porn sites. And I mean the worst kind, or were older people carrying on dirty talk with young people by means of IM. Under such circumstances I can well understand the need to know what your clients are doing on machines that on the bottom line, you are responsible for. As you say Manuel his clients/employees would need to be very well aware that their Internet activity was being monitored, and that they the client/employee would ultimately be responsible for what they did on the Internet. Not so easy to track down someone who wanders into an Internet café off the street though. They come in, in anonimity, do what they want on your machine, and go out in anonimity. I only mention this, as I'd thought about setting up an Internet café, but now think that it's not worth the hassle if you are responsible for what your clients do on your machines while online.
