No. The only possibly depressing thing about it are the ones who abuse
basic human instincts to sell goods. Or rather the fact that said ones
do not face consequences of their actions. Whenever an arbitrary picture
is a 'porn' or not is in the eye of the beholder.

I have two children, so I speak from my own experience with them. Now,
how many children do you have?

No, this is there you've got it wrong. It's one thing if parent
explicitly forbids child to do something as it implies human
interaction. It's another thing if parent relies on some inanimate
object (say, Squid proxy server) to force an arbitrary restriction.

And forcing the child to accept surveillance or censorship in such
early age may cause an actual damage as in turn it may cause child to
accept surveillance or censorship (provided by government or
employer) as a normal thing in the future.

Of course, there're worse things that can be done with children, such as
introducing them to the social networks ;)

Last time they choose a number in China - they build The Great Chineese
Firewall for everyone.

Every time they choose a number on a Middle East - they usually ban
everything short of a couple of 'approved' sites.

Last time they choose a number in England they effectively banned 3/4
of Internet. Unless you opt out and mark yourself as a CP consumer, or
so I heard.

On a bright side of things, last time they choose a number in Russia -
a number had choosen them :)

So, careful with the numbers, as they carry power.

Read first one about 20 years ago as a part of my school education
actually. I don't feel the need to re-read it yet.
I don't recall reading a second one though.

But, in return I'd like to recommend reading '1984' novel by George
Orwell.
