the idea is so stupid its beyond comprehension , why go about it backwards when its so much easier "filter IN" safe material..

Instead of trying to take the porn "out" of the internet through filters, its much easier to add safe sites IN to a safe internet for kids..

instead of making every site and every company have to build complex systems to filter out porn that will NEVER work with the way the internet works now.. if you can upload a pic somewhere on the net instantly without it being reviewed, theres instant porn anywhere you cant stop it that way..

why not just put the onus on the parents.. make the internet just like alcohol , illegal for minors and illegal for parents to give access to minors.. then setup a safe kids isp. and ADD site sthat are safe like disney itunes etc ..
