Porn filtering is useless or harmful?

It's like telling me you don't have kids without telling me you don't have kids xD.

I have my 8 year old sons internet pretty much locked down at this point, but people still end up skirting around the rules of sites like youtube when publishing content towards kids. Automatic filtering is one of the only ways to prevent newly published content geared towards children from being malicious. The alternative, human curation, even if done by method of reporting a video, is time consuming and expensive.
