Respect your point but... Alcohol is a physical item, pornography is just data. We're going all out to make data freer because of all the benefits that brings. Are kids going to see information you didn't want them to? Hell yeah.

It goes way beyond porn though, if we allow gov to block anything it doesn't like then we're on a road to a bleak future (hint: we are already).

IMHO it's far, far better for families to actually deal with this new reality by being honest and educating their children. Honestly, I try not to really worry too much.

They both provide stimulus, I don't think the physicality of the stimulus is important?

But I agree with you on education, and maybe I now have to concede my original point, since you're right to say that if children received better education there would potentially be less of a problem...
