Censorship Government The Internet

In UK, Search Engines Urged To Block More Online Porn Sites 186

An anonymous reader writes "Search engines such as Google should do more to restrict access to online pornography, a government adviser on child internet safety has said. John Carr said increasing the number of sites automatically blocked by search engines would make it more difficult for paedophiles to get images of abuse. It comes after Mark Bridger was found guilty of the abduction and murder of five-year-old April Jones in Powys." It sounds like a continuation of the blocked-by-default porn white-listing plan that's been going around in the UK for a few years now.

    How do you imagine it? Sitting next to the kid and watching over her/his shoulder?

    How about we grow up as a society and rely on education instead of prohibition? How about explaining to a child what porn is and how it relates to sex and leave her/him make decisions.

    But no, it could be awkward, stressful and demand something like actual parenting. Forget it, censor this shit off my internets!

    The child can learn about sex on their wedding night. Prior to that no-one really has much of an interest anyway and certainly won't be finding ways to slake that curiosity.

    In muslim countries the child certainly can learn about sex on their wedding night.

The rule on staying alive as a program manager is to give 'em a number or give 'em a date, but never give 'em both at once.
