| In fact...
...much of this stuff mirrors the V-chip rhetoric that possessed Republican do-gooders a few years back.
That said, I sympathize with the frustration behind it all: Porn does not belong on a terminal with immediate access for youngsters. This is not an issue that good parenting will solve--it's completely beyond parental control (or pretty close). Clearly, the easy availability of hard core porn for all of society's members is not an ideal, and blaming parents just won't do.
Of course, ghetto-izing it all in its own extension will hardly solve the problem.
In California, there has been a huge movement to go after Internet pornographers on the basis of decency laws, and it's starting to sting. So many sites now have no nudity on their "front doors"...
The porn biz has a tremendous incentive to solve the problem, and not just laugh it away. When 10 yr. old kids can see a triple pen while sitting in a public library, it's going to create a lot of frustration.
