I think the point is taken.
I really have no desire to think about these things, especially every
time I read this mailing list these days.

We are not talking about filtering standard sex education images as
you might find in a school book. We are talking about images or videos
of women drinking their urine, masturbating with a toothbrush, or
having sex with a dog.

You know, while I'd rather my son learns about human sexuality in
a way that I'm comfortable with and can control, the reality is
that he's not going to come to his mum for that information! I'd
really much rather he reads that information on Wikipedia, (even
if that information is not perfect), than gets his education on
the topic from *actual* internet pornography. In this sense
putting in a "family friendly" content filter like Larry Sanger
advocates would probably be a massive own goal.
If there are any other mothers on the list, I'd be interested in
hearing their thoughts too...

The problem with all enforced filtering systems is that they
aren't going to stop kids getting to porn (15-year-old boys
have both a lot of time, technical expertise and will find
creative ways to get their hands on porn), but they often will
over-censor. Back in the 90s, GLAAD put out a report called
"Access Denied" that described how filtering technology was
restricting access to LGBT information sites. My university
used to prevent students (adults!) from accessing the
Wikipedia article on "Same-sex marriage" because, well, the
URL contains the word "sex". Breast cancer
awareness/information sites get hammered for the word "breast".
