Sure here it is:
The Internet is not a baby sitter! If you're worried about what your kids
are looking at, keep an eye on what they're doing. Any smart kid will be
able to subvert blocking systems so just don't bother.
If you really want one, how about this:
Kid makes request for web page.
Parent downloads page, checks for suitability and prints out.
High latency and not very scalable but works every time.
Now your homework for today: define "inappropriate for children" and be
sure to satisfy every adult on the planet.
That includes me who's happy for kids to see sexual/nude content (ie
stuff that our society thinks is okay to do, not see) but don't want kids
seeing violent content (ie stuff that our society thinks is not okay to
do, but okay to watch) and Fred Nile who has a problem with the human
body and sexuality.
