We all agree that parents have the primary responsibility of filtering the material that reaches children. However, children are often lured onto websites containing obscene material through the devious manipulation of search engines.
The Internet has been seen in the West as the quintessential expression of the free exchange of ideas and information, untrammeled by government interference and increasingly global in reach. But the Chinese government has shown that the Internet can be successfully filtered and controlled.
Children are not being assaulted by images that appear on a computer screen. Any Internet user knows it is quite difficult to stumble across pornography.
There are times I turn off my Wi-Fi, and I'm selective about what I want to share with the world now.
Access by kids to the Internet should be like kids breathing clean air.
Parents have the ability to screen their children's Internet access at home.
Can any sane person say that before something comes on the Net you must screen it? How can there be pre-screening?
Blocking material leads to censorship. That goes for pornography and bestiality, too. If you don't like it, don't look at it... Every time I hear someone say, I want to protect the children, I want to pull my hair out.
Censorship has kind of disappeared in a way because everything is accessible online.
