oops, sorry. I didn't finish that comment then decided to delete it... but, here it is:
CTRL+F this sentence:
We have to start asking why they are not being made responsible for it.
Lost me right there; that whole paragraph. Sure, talking about what's on the internet to young people is important and should be done. It's one thing for internet-companies to remove content that has been reported and deemed a ToS violation or illegal, but we don't need people turning their personal beliefs/ethics/etc into proactive-internet-filters. I don't exactly love the content on stormfront.org, but I'm not asking the webhost or my ISP or anyone to shut it down or filter it because ThinkOfTheChildren/Terrorists/current-boogeyman. I feel the article focuses a lot on the "problems" with the internet and not so much the problem of parents not ensuring the children have a "balanced"(whatever that means) world view.
